Update from Eyetech (after my review)

Don't go to your local Chrysler dealer then.  They have this little coupe called the CrossFire, it's got a Merc motor under the hood.

It is sacrilidge.  (and actually next year you will find Chrysler motors in Mercedes)

They're merging the two motor lineups together.  Already previously Chrysler-only features (such as polyheads) are showing up in Mercedes motors.

The motor being used is, from all reports, the bigger-than-big block  that Chrysler introduced 3-4 years ago for it's racing teams  Of course that has been reworked by the German company.

In the end, there won't be "Mercedes" nor "Chrysler" motors.  They are being blended, making a much more powerful design in the end..

Now, JUST RELEASE THE FRIGGIN CHARGER!
