Also - does DCX have a decent performance oriented AWD system already? Not sure if there's anything in the Mercedes parts bin they can borrow, or perhaps they can grab some Mitsu parts. Just seems like they'd have to sink some more money into development when they've already got an effective RWD developed on (essentially) that platform with the Charger and 300.
It would definitely be cool if they offered it. I think it would be a giant step forward in terms of "global" marketing. Would still have the American muscle car heritage, but be a car everyone could get behind from a technology standpoint.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
MB has the 4Matic AWD system (I believe it is used on the SLR McLaren) -- so it has plenty of beef
