yesterday, DaimlerChrysler board member and Chrysler chief designer Tom Gale
announced that he will retire before the end of the year.  With that news,

spread a new round of intriguing rumors and proved itself worthy of rank
alongside the big international shows in Detroit, Frankfurt, Geneva and Tokyo.
