I think Mercedes should enter aviation after buying the rights to the former Fokker name.

That would be so cool to see Mercedes planes everywhere.

What do you think about this?

Actually, I think Dodge was looking at buying Boeing and they were going to rename all of the planes:

747 would become the roomy Dodge X9000 SuperCab Deluxe

757 would become the sporty Dodge SuperCruzer 10000 Sport with the optional Rallye package

737 would become the practical Dodge SuperStrato L70000 with optional CD player, heated seats, and trailer hitch

767 would become the legendary Dodge MegaRam 3K with optional automatic windows and spoiler

717 would become the Dodge Dart
