SLK 320 AMG KOMPRESSOR ( the kompressor are Japanese made, did anyone know that)

<br>
I read it in the Motor Trend Car Magazine. Why can AMG design one of their own. or at least pick a German made kompressor.

Yeah, and the cupholder on my '01 seems exactly the same as the POS one from my moms old '93 Intrepid (and just as flimsy). See a connection?

toyota first, honda second, daimler chrysler slipped to worst than average along with volkswagen. lets be thankful that the charger is japanese.

Thats because you are in denial. The connection was other cheaply sourced parts (Read Japanese parts instead of German parts), point was this isnt the end or the beginning, and the cost cutting is showing up everywhere like my Intrepid cupholder. Whether you can consider my 4100 mile a/c system 2001 needing two leaking parts replaced just today is a coincidence or not is up to you! Steve
