It is infuriating that the 4.0L is the last of the I6 family as Daimler killed it for no other reason than internal politics. The official response when it was killed off was that it couldn't meet smog, but any half-wit could tell you another redesign on the head would do the engine wonders. For christ sakes, Chrysler in the mid 90s had a working redesign of the head that didn't do much for fuel mileage but severely reduced emissions and boosted the power of the engine.

I heard that the tooling was also wearing out and that it would be very expensive to replace. That could be a total bullshit rumor, but that's what I've heard had an impact as well.

That looks miserable. How do you people live like that?!? I'd sell a kidney to move somewhere warm if I lived somewhere that happened...

I get pissed now that I live in Boston and it doesn't snow enough. If you grew up with it, it's normal.
