MEMORANDUM OPINION
GUIN, Senior District Judge.
The two cases presently before the court are among a series of cases filed against Chrysler Corporation [hereinafter Chrysler] and various individual dealerships that handled Chrysler products. Each case alleges “designed in” defects in Chrysler “M” body automobiles: Chrysler Fifth Avenue, Dodge Diplomat, and Plymouth Grand Fury. All of the cases were filed in state courts around the state. In the cases at bar Chrysler contends the dealerships were fraudulently joined as parties to defeat diversity and keep the cases out of federal court.
