Huh? All of the Chrysler products today have Cummins in them. Fords have
their own "Power Stroke" in their small trucks, and then you can get
pretty much anything you like in the bigger trucks (Detroit, Cummins,
Cat, etc.). Has Chrysler cut a different deal for "some point in the
future"?
Anyway, I'd love to see some of the Merc engines in things, and maybe
even a couple of rear wheel drive performance sedans (a rear wheel drive
Avenger with the Merc V8 would be killer...)

Nah, from what I remember, Ferd snagged the Cummins deal, so CC went to
Cat.
A look ont the bright side about the DBCC deal.... maybe a 245HP Avenger
with a Merc. derived V8..... OR a 200HP V6 from Merc in a Neon...
wouldn't be a bad trade off.
