Nissan and Chrysler may build cars and trucks together

[HemiCharger]

My Charger does have some rattle issues especially on cold mornings but when it warms up that goes away. Plus I do not think the Lexus IS300 that I smoked was worried about rattles probably that he just got smoked by a 4500 lb tank of a car. I agree with everyone here that past Chrysler and Dodge products are crap. They sure are but in 50 years do you think you will ever see a JDM/ Euro Skyline GTR run through Barrett Jackson for a million bucks or so. I highly doubt it. Go buy a car and driver or car book review and take a look at it. The Charger may not be a world beater as far as quality but customer satisfaction is through the roof. Lets look at domestic cars that it competes with i.e. Caprice, Malibu, Marquis, Ford 500. It is far better than those cars and is priced in line with them.

Again I looked at a lot of domestic and import cars before I went and laid my money down. I could not find a car as comfortable, affordable, and as performance oriented for the money. Past may be an indication of future performance but as of right now the past quality issues that Chrysler has faced is a thing of the past.

Back on topic, Dodge trucks are good and always have been back to the RamCharger days. Nissan and Chrysler would be a great pairing in that Chrysler could supply larger Hemi derived engines to power Nissan's larger full size trucks and Chrysler could get cars such as the Versa to increase their CAFE numbers so they can continue to build 400-500 hp Chargers and Challengers.

does not look like junk to me...

I believe Nissan will use their own powerplant. They have plenty of capable engines to use. Their 5.4 is a monster. I think just the actual platform of the Ram will be used. That's just my theory.

Actually the ONLY thing about dodge trucks that is good is the cummins turbo diesel engines and the DANA rear ends. The trannies SUCK! PERIOD! Trust me I worked as a transmission tech for a few years. The fit and finish of their interior is marginal at best and their gasoline engines are average. The 2 best trannies on the market today (for trucks) are the 4L80-E's and the alison's, bot of which come in GM's trucks.
