I'd be very surprised if we don't get this in '08 as well.

OK, so when is DCX going to pull the plug on their Smart car division? :AH-HA_wink:

I'm sorry, but that's just crap. The problem with the V6 pushrods is lack of dev dollars, not the architecture itself.

I loved my old Neon, but take a peek at the dashboard assembly or door panel structure and you'll quickly understand how that was possible. :AH-HA_wink:

Yeah but the only thing VW on that car was the engine...

Considering how visually awkward the new Camry is I'd say the perceived difference in the interior would be a wash.

Wow. A couple of those shots make this car seem positively gargantuan.

Isn't the Zeta Impala growing in size compared to the current car?

The Wrangler and the 4-door Unlimited are getting the 3.8l OHV V6 from the minivans, which is more powerful than the outgoing AMC-based 4l I6 workhorse. They should be plenty powerful now, but I imagine it won't be long before they also get the enlarged 4l V6.

Ah, thus the confusion...Chrysler's website lists the 3.5l as the only choice.

? The Pacifica has always had the SOHC 3.5l. I think the OHV minivan engine was an option at one point though.

Chances of a coupe are rather slim, although a convertible is almost a guaranteed given. The rumor is that it's going to be a hardtop 'vert like the G6.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that's a detune (think revised SAE)... Anyway, non-studio pics here: http://forums.thecarlounge.net/zerothread?...081695#30081695

http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?A.../606220390/1148 Plenty of details there. I'm especially interested in the 20 gig hard drive option. The exterior styling would probably be more effective without the overwrought C-pillar detail.

Wow. That really added to the discussion... Toyota isn't even as American as DCX, which itself is up for debate. Perhaps there will be a time when that changes, but it won't be because of Toyota spending megabucks on PR.
