DaimlerChrysler chairman J rgen Schrempp, a man who's gotten so much heat over Mercedes's failings of late, he could open an omelet station on his face, found himself lost in Stuttgart — home of the Mercedes headquarters — after the nav system in the Merc he was driving malfunctioned. Schrempp told German magazine Der Spiegel the system kept telling him to turn around, despite that he was going in the right direction, and that it kept telling him to ease up on the 4711 cologne.
