Pure Italian engine!!! That's a good thing. Chrysler engine design (although heavy) has always been a strength of the company. Where Chrysler products have ALWAYS been inferior is with chassis design and weight. They have always been 10-20 years behind. See current MB chassis being used that was designed in the early nineties.... Alfa engines have always been a masterpiece of design . The valve casting and polished intake runners on my 164L were pure eye candy!
Hopefully new Jeeps that switch ove to our platform will be MUCH better as people love their GC's but I always thought the handling was ponderous and VAGUE.
