Don't forget DC has that Detroit "Delta" V6. Only problem is it needs low
sulfur diesel which isn't widely available in the US yet. They were
toying with that engine in the Durango, Jeep GC, & Dakota a few years back
when gas prices were way up over the cost of diesel. Seems like I
remember reading that they were getting similar HP & Torque numbers to the
318. Oh but you were getting 18-19 MPG all the time no matter what you
were pulling. ;)
I think we'll see that engine eventually.
