This small car venture with Nissan can't happen soon enough, however. They need something in their showroom slotted below the Caliber which in itself must be due for a refresh sometime soon.

Do you think Lutz would be bitching up a storm for regulations that are 12 years away? Get your facts right. And I was referring to LLNs senseless attack on Chrysler "too little too late" BS. Now go be quiet. Import humper. Xyunya CAFE starts to affect manufacturing in 2012 with a completion date of 2020.

This with the new Phoenix V6 family of engine should really help Chrysler.

My guess is that hybrids from Dodge will be based on GM automatic with motors build into transmission (M-B and BMW were financing/participating in that venture) and Chrysler inherited the "right" to it. Also the tranny is meant for large vehicles, hence RAM is likely candidate. Given RAM's excellent mileage for it's class I wonder what hybrid will provide: it can interested study on usefulness of hybrids in truck application. Seriously, it is hard to take you seriously: CAFE requirements are for 2020 not 2012 and to boot you start with insults when begging for love to Chrysler, before anyone displayed any animosity. Lastly, regardless of CAFE requirements in 12 years today public shifted to smaller vehicles due to soaring price of gas/diesel.

It's going to be the standard of the future, and when CAFE hits in 2012 every company will have one. Stop hating Chrysler you import humpers.

Probably Nissan's? Isn't Nissan getting a Dodge pickup to rebadge? I would imagine they’re going to buy someone’s hybrid tech. Probably Nissan’s? Isn’t Nissan getting a Dodge pickup to rebadge?
