BERLIN -- From Daimler-Benz to DaimlerChrysler and now just plain old Daimler.

Many shareholders are breathing a sigh of relief as DaimlerChrysler goes through the formality of shedding "Chrysler" from its letterhead -- a final farewell to the money-losing American automaker it sold most of earlier this year.

But some are wondering: What happened to Mr. Benz?

Though shareholders are widely expected to approve the change to "Daimler AG" on Thursday, scores have complained that the company should still include the name of Karl Benz, a man often considered the grandfather of the automobile in Germany.

Among several motions to be considered at the meeting in Berlin, shareholder Bernd Gans of Vaterstetten, Germany, argues that returning to the original name would right a wrong.

"Replacing the traditional name of Benz with the name of the U.S. corporation, which at that time was already sufficiently well-known as a crisis company, was always regarded as arbitrary and in bad style," he wrote.

Definitely an interesting turn of events that has happened here. Mercedes is back and it's probably going to end up getting it's old name back. It's weird.

I find it a bit weird too that they did away with Herrn Benz so easily. Frau Bertha is certainly not amused:
