Chrysler will have a new family of SIX cylinder engines for 2010 called the Phoenix various displacements, all with MDS. These will replace all six cylinder engines and deliver the power AND economy we all want.

How many variations of the theme are they coming out with? What will the displacements be?

Leading the way? You mean by finally updating or replacing a warehouse of old AMC and Crysler engines dating back to the 20th century? Yeah, that's leadership alright. Ford has a new wiz-bang 3.5L V-6 out, GM has several new 6 cylinders out, Nissan, Toyota and Honda have their fully updated 6's out. And Chrysler finally, at last, is "leading the way" by updating their engine stable...... I'm impressed, wow..... My mouth is literally drooping with joy....

I worked on those old engines,and they were more reliable then todays engine.And Chrysler did a wise thing by waiting,see what the competition has,then do their's one step better.Plus it is Mercedes/Chrysler design,I think you can't get much better then that.My Charger is the best Chrysler built so far with the help of Mercedes.

I am a FAN of the 300 and the Charger - don't misinterpret what I'm going to say; but......Toyota or Honda can do better than Mercedes can, IMO. Oh, the Mercedes may win the race, but the Toyota will come home under its own power more often, and frankly, Toyota has been dominating racing lately, not Daimler Daimler.....Cerberus, whoever that is....

No, I'm not kidding. With life insurance you pay in advance to leave your dependents with something to help them continue to live without hardship (hopefully) after you die, especially if you die prematurely. Everyone should do something like this to protect those who depend on them. You are definitely going to die at some point.
An extended warranty is paying in advance for something that probably won't happen, and probably wouldn't cause serious hardship if it did.

Sorry, your analogy is wide of the mark. In the majority of cases, both life insurance and extended warranties have a time (or mileage) limit, and if a death or failure happens after the limit has expired, there is no payout. With life insurance the insurer is betting that you won't die before the term of the policy expires, and with extended warranties, the insurer is betting that your car won't die before the term expires. Once again, I fail to see a difference, they're both betting on a statistical outcome that says the insurance company will win.
Best Regards,
Shipo

The reason Dodge isn't winning many races in nascar is because the Hemi is not allowed.If it was allowed,they would win most of the races like they did when the Hemi was allowed.As far as the new engines,we will have to wait and see what happens.In the meantime,I'm very happy with my 3.5,and the Mopar/Borla exhaust makes it that more equal to any Toyota,or Honda,or Nissan.
