The Chrysler Group is considering developing a new range of V6 engines to replace its existing six-cylinder lineup, CEO Tom LaSorda in an interview late last week. One variant of the new V6 would be used in the next-generation Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Dodge Charger, which Automotive News indicates will be re-engineered for the 2009 model year. LaSorda said a decision on whether the automaker will invest in redesigning it’s V6 line will be made this fall. He would not elaborate further on the rumors, nor would he say if the lineup would include a diesel engine.

Chrysler could learn a thing or 10 from GM on how to build a decent automobile. Ever since Chrysler merge with Mercedes Chrysler is unreliable junk. GM is is #1 in the world, always will be

Chrysler’s CEO is Tommy LaSorda? The ex-Dodgers manager? He’s a good buy.

Toyota is perched to take over the number 1 spot regarding the amount of cars they manufacture…but they have already taken from GM the most important # 1 spot: the amount of profits they make. Unless you are going to tells us that GM is in a better financial position than Toyota…

I’m of the opinion that if you think you might need a redesign, you are already behind on the redesign.

Geez how hard to you have to think about this one Chrysler. Let’s put it this way, Do you want to try to compete with the Japanese or don’t you? I’d say you better make the decision to redesign your engines.

What are you talking about, Chrysler practically is European. And their cars are a hell of a lot better than any of the junk that Ford or GM puts out these days, that’s for sure.

Sigh… nice to see all the fifth-graders are present and accounted for. Shouldn’t you kids be in school? You might learn how to use punctuation.
Chrysler would do well to update its V6s. The 2.7 is looking sorely underpowered now that Camrys and Accords boast 250+ horses. In the Magnum, Charger, and 300, it’s an embarrassment. The 3.5 is much better, but both engines have a coarse edge to them that most import V6s don’t.
