Yep, we got a fair number of them here in the US. In fact, that has 
something to do with why they're sometimes referred to as the SP250. It 
was the Dart back home, but over here Chrysler Corp. used that name on a 
Dodge and didn't really wish to share it with Daimler. Interesting in a 
way, as from certain angles the Daimler has some very Chrysler-like 
styling cues (don't know if Virgil Exner had anything to do with the SP250).

The only ones you might offend are those still patiently waiting for mjb 
to start up the "sp250@autox.team.net" list. :-)
