I just don't get the vibe that this deal will be long term. I don't know anything about the details. But the obvious question is if there are any stipulations.redhed said:surprised nissan is gonna use the v8 diesel...thought they'd use the cummins v6 diesel instead. wonder what tranny they'll use behind this 550 lb/ft motor?? if the rest of the truck gets proper updates...it could be competitive again!![]()

That's too bad. They could have something so much better. That's Toyota's grand scheme. Build them here, make people think "Hey I'm helping America" and laugh all the way to the bank in Tokyo. I have said this before and I will say it again. It makes me sick how many people buy Asian vehicles, my Mom included.JTE said:Visit San Antonio where they build the Tundra and now the Tacoma, they drive what they build.
don't you find it an irony that asian companies have been building assembly plants here in the good ole' USA, while the so-called American companies have gone either north or south to build a number of their plants in the last 25 years?? which solution would appear to bring more plant/assembly jobs to the US?plymouth1 said:That's too bad.

They did send a thank you card, one they nabbed Fred Diaz.GasAxe said:I empathise with the dealer who will have to explain to the common consumer why the Titan has the Cummins and Ram doesn't for the 1500 but does for the HD and up. Some people just won't understand.
Nissan better send a thank you card to Dodge for laying out all the positive groundwork for them.
25 years? "Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation became the Chrysler Corporation on June 6th, 1925. Eleven days later, the Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited was registered with its head office in Windsor, Ontario" North, actually if you look at a map Windsor is south of Detroit.redhed said:don't you find it an irony that asian companies have been building assembly plants here in the good ole' USA, while the so-called American companies have gone either north or south to build a number of their plants in the last 25 years?? which solution would appear to bring more plant/assembly jobs to the US?![]()
Personally I think the VM 3.0 is better and dont get me started on the guy that bailed on Chrysler for Nissan!!!MoparNorm said:Mr. M thinks he knows better than anyone, Mr. Diaz now has a chance to show that he doesn't.
It could be that basic.
For all of the Cummins vs. VM folks, this is WrestleMania.![]()
Strange Euro Engine...jointly developed with Detroit Diesel and Cummins, owned by Roger Penske and Chrysler, that was what was strange. TheVM plant is one of the most advanced and modern in the world.AC TC said:But the cummins is a V8 with stamina VM´s v6 is a strange euro engine.
Dont get me wrong here Ram would have benefitted from a V8 Cummins.
