It's kind of surprising to me that they were relying so heavily on the 9-speed with what sounds like no real backup plan at the time. Luckily for them they had access to Hyundai-sourced 6-speed autos?
It does sound to me like we'll have access to the 9-speed with any engine option, much like with the Grand Cherokee and it's 8-speed.
He also hinted later in the presser about another diesel on this side of the pond this year. Fiat reportedly has a 4-cylinder diesel that meets U.S. standards.
Dart Diesel with 9-speed transmission and 50+ mpg on the hwy would be rather sweet.
