Sounds like GM and Chrysler have teamed up to design a hybrid engine to compete with the Asian market. Apparently with all the technology the Asian automobile manufacturer'* have is going to require GM & DC to team up and come up with something to compete.
This could be interesting.

GM allready teamed up with Ford, to develope some type of transmission, thats now in the 500.

lets not call it GM teaming up with (blank) lets call it (blank) teaming up with GM....lets be honest folks GM rules!!!

Oh not Chrysler.......

{scream}

yeah ^^^ I hear you BonEvilSSEI

Well to a point. SOME gm products rule and some are not up to par with parts from a kia rio.


DUDE SHES GOT A HEMI.

I would hope that Chrysler isn't making the transmission

agreed. a hemi SLE would be a nice one-time custom thing though...





























for me!!!

Chrysler teamed up with Mercedes for some of their transmissions. Also the Mercedes trasmissions are in hyudai'* and Kia'* since chrysler owns part of hyundai, and hyundai owns part of kia. Needless to say, Mercedes got the Hyundai designed engine. Scary! But now you will look at Mercedes in a whole new light.

coincidently, since all the mergers and sharing of technology, hyundai has moved into 2nd for consumer satisfaction (behind toyota) for new car purchases. This is based off of the number of complaints within 6 months of buying the car. They were short buy less than 200 complaints of overtaking toyota. After all said and done, 2004 Hyundai will be the new leader in new car purchase satisfactory ratings.

Mercedes' general reliability has gone so far downhill lately that it'* not funny. They're at the bottom of the barrel pretty much.

Hyundais has made some very solid, good cars within the past little while. They're yet to be proven in terms of longevity, but hey, if you plan to lease one, it'll last you likely without problems. Kia too.

I'll take the new 400hp 6000 V8 over the hemi any day. It might be in the G8 in which case will be my next car

I don't mind chryslers, I just hate working on them. Of all the car manufacturers, they seem to have the most oddball way of doing things.
