I don't know if this has been discussed before, but the Parts Content stickers on the 05's, including the V6 I purchased, say the engine comes from Germany and the automatic transmission comes from France.

Does anyone have more information about the origins of these engines and transmissions?

 

Don't have anymore info for you but I would be surprised if alot more of the parts didn't come from other countries - just how things are.

 

France makes tons of transmissions for Japanese and American cars. The 4.0 is built in germany. The V8 is built at the romeo plant in MI.

 

One more reason to get the 5-spd. Hopefully it's made elsewhere, preferably here in the U.S.A.! :usa:

 

Its amazing to see how many different parts on cars are built in different places.

 

well thats america for u

 

Thank the lord i am not buying auto,


The French = :gay:

 

Heh, you guys are unbelievable.


The French got their stuff together and are making good cars, especially Peugeout and Renault. What makes you think a US made gearbox would be better?

 

cept for :moose:

 

They may someday manufacture the best car in the world (thats a big may) but they'll stiil be :gay:

 

Not that i agree with your comment about their cars now.

 

I wouldn't have a problem with getting an engine from Germany, they definitely know what they are doing when it comes to engines.
