Fiat has plans to replace most of Chrysler's engines with its own. Paolo Ferrero, senior vice president of powertrain, said the number of Chrysler-designed engines will drop to 12 percent by 2014 from 84 percent currently, with many larger engines replaced by smaller, four-cylinder ones.

I hope this will not be forever I hate to hear it but they needed to work on the fuel mileage issuses a long time ago and could have done something to make them do better in my opinion.

V8`s will still be available in trucks and certain models but Chrysler does need to be more competitive in the fuel economy classes so hopefully that is a good move.

Did you watch the presentation or read through any of the slides?
We are getting a BIGGER Hemi. The 6.4 Hemi with 450+ HP is replacing the 6.1 in the next year and will be debuting in the Challenger.

Man I was checking out a decked out SRT8 on the way home today. It had everything I could want except HID headlights. It stickered at 46k. I was choking on that when I looked over and saw one of the dreaded "Excessive Dealer Profit" stickers that put the total up to 51k+
I ran away
