#1- Dodge needs to dump the Hemi name, it isn't a true Hemi with Semi-Hemispherical heads...I guess it is a Semi-Hemi?
#2-It needs 2 sparkplugs per cylinder to meet emissions and still gets 16MPG highway WITH cylinder deactivation in the cars, can't wait to see the truck #'s. My buddy just dropped $48K on the 300C SRT8 and is already looking ot trade it in just because of gas mileage. He is averaging around 12 and I think it was rated at 18C 22H
#3- I own a Dodge truck I am ready to push intot he river, spend more time broken then running for front end problems.

I am not impressed with Dodge at all, their styling is hit or miss to the extreme, which oin this day and age of cookie cutter cars is actually nice to see and their quality is sub-par. SUgar coated in a fancy wrapper by Daimler, but subpar. IMO Chevy isn't far behind either, they build the best powertrain with the worst designs but I would probably buy one first. Sadly the best truck/SUV I've been in recently is a Toyota
