DaimlerChrysler is working on a new line of V6 engines for use in its Chrysler group and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Known internally as Phoenix, the project will see engines built at three U.S. plants and one Germany facility, according to Automotive News. The program will reduce DaimlerChrysler's V-6 engines "to one family instead of five," DaimlerChrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche said in a recent interview. A UAW source told the trade publication the first Phoenix engines will arrive on 2010 models. The engines will be used in everything from front-wheel drive Chrysler minivans, to the Dodge Magnum, to the Mercedes C-, E-, and S-Class.

Maybe the new Crossfire will be running the 350 or better... but at the same time this will make our Crossfires really old Technology.

 

FirebaseD,

Old or not, I will still love my Crossfire and I hope to keep it for many years to come.

any 2004/2005 car will be old technology by 2010. and Chrysler could definitely use the help in their V6 department. the 2.7 and 3.5 never were the best offerings.
