The deal puts the company back into the luxury-car market, gives it, and Curtiss-Wright, permission to import and manufacture Mercedes-Benz diesel engines and fuel-injection systems. With an eye on the sales surge of cheaper foreign cars, S-P also plans to produce a stripped-down version of its two-door "Champion" this year. Price: about...
