Actually, I don't think the 3.9L v6 ever was an option in the Libertys. I
could be wrong, but that was my impression. I don't see why it's a shame,
really. The LA engines are kinda out-dated in the Magnum guise. I agree
there's the old-school "coolness" of the 318/360 and whatnot, but I'll take
the same power with better efficiency of the 4.7. Or, in the case of the 6,
more power and likely better efficiency. I suppose there is the question of
durability, since these engines haven't been around as long as the venerable
"old iron" from ma mopar.
