Hey Guys!

The 20001 brochure shows the 2.5L I-4 as the standard engine in the CC 4X2
model. The 4X4 model shows the 3.9L V6 as the standard engine.

uhmmm....don;t mean to point you guys wrong but they did and still sell the
CC
with a four-bager in them. I ahev never checked out to see if this is
mentioned
by dodge but one of the local dealers has a lot full of CC's with the four
bager
in them.I have seen several on the road before and when they brought out the
4.7
and made chages a year later to the interior I figured they had stopped
making
them this way but when I was there to get some minor work done under
warrenty
there on the lot were three of them with the new interior and a door sticker
indicating the 2.5L. I popped the hood and sure enough.......more room and
small
engine. The dealer that has alot of them is a different one here in town and
does alot of fleet sales as well as normal sales. They might only be
availiable
to certain markets. Who knows but I have seen them and would never have
thought
much about it except that I occasionaly see posts here that state otherwise.
