I have no idea why Daimler feels the need to try and differentiate all their models into individual brands.
The Dodge & Chrysler brands have been riddled with brand identity issues for a long time now. Your post being a good example since they haven't been associated with Daimler since '07.
Probably why they're doing the whole Dodge Bros. commercial campaign

I knew (but forgot) the two split and daimler is now a part of Tata.
What I totally did not know was that it was Fiat the purchased chrysler/dodge, not the other way round.

Dear Diary,
Today I learned something new.
You got it wrong again. The Daimler that split from Chrysler is "Daimler AG". Basically the "Parent" of Mercedes-Benz. The Daimler you're talking is British, which in theory is basically Jaguar.

Now you've found the fun and frustrating part of the auto industry...
There are 2 Daimlers, or were.
Daimler AG (German) which used to be the controlling half of DaimlerChrysler, owned about 5% of Tata until 2007 (by coincidence).
The British company called Daimler Motor Company Limited was bought by Jaguar in 1960 and then floated around Britain for a bit until being gobbled up by Ford. Tata acquired Jaguar Land Rover (and Daimler) from Ford.
