There'* a reason for that. Realistically looking, I don't think their rantings aren't completely out of left field...

I guarentee the Hemi will be the same bulls**t. In five to ten years those engines will be dropping like flies. Trust me, do not give in to their scams. I did and I got screwed.
"Hemi" isn't some sort of special technology that can fail in the blink of an eye. Hemi motors would be just as likely to fail as non-hemi motors, assuming proper workmanship and care. It'* all a marketing gimmick, I said it once and I'll say it again, COUNTLESS mainstream (family cars included, for that matter) cars have had hemispherical-shaped combustion chambers for decades now. It'* just Chrysler just resurrecting the name, cranking out considerable hp out of a 5.7L V8, and creating a helluva a lot of hype over. Great technology, but it'* common stuff. It'd be like Pontiac acting like they pioneered the performance shift mode in the '92 SSEi...
