    They are coming out with a 5 seater using the 3.8 engine instead of the 3.5.

    That's progressive. Install a bigger fuel guzzler. Obviously, these
    Germans don't take hints from each other. Porsche is making a deal to use
    Toyota hybrid engine technology on their SUV's. Go figure.

    What leads you to believe that the larger displacement engine will be a
    'bigger fuel guzzler'?

    Please show your research.

    Some people shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard.

    Did it ever occur to you that a bigger displacement, LOWER peak
    horsepower but HIGHER peak torque engine might just yield BETTER fuel
    efficiency in a heavy vehicle than a high-revving quad-valve
    overhead-cam engine that spends 99.999% way off its optimum operating
    parameters does?

    Don't confuse him with the facts, Steve. Everybody knows that bigger
    engines use more gas!

    :p

    Unfortunately EPA figures aren't available yet at Chrysler's site but I was
    thinking that at least there would be a low end torque improvement.
