Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Plants/Manufacturing , Chrysler , Dodge , Hyundai Hyundai CEO John Krafcik has confirmed that the Korean automaker will supply Chrysler with transmissions for its new Dodge Dart , according to Car and Driver . While the two automakers may seem like odd dance partners, the tie-up makes plenty of sense. Both companies use engines born out of the now-defunct Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance with Mitsubishi . As a result, 2.0- and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines found in the Dart share more than a few strands of DNA with the same displacement engines found under the hood of vehicles like the Hyundai Sonata

Filed under: Geneva Motor Show , Crossover , Mitsubishi , Design/Style Mitsubishi has been something of a punching bag among both analysts and critics in the United States for some years now, with lukewarm reception to new products and meek sales figures.

There are things that Peugeot does well, and there are things that Peugeot doesn’t do well. Come to think of it, there aren’t many things it does all that well, short of the 908 HDi endurance racer, but in any event, crossovers aren’t one of the French automaker’s core competencies. Aside from the 508 RXH, which is more closer to a Subaru Outback and Audi Allroad in its beefed-up wagon approach, all of Peugeot’s crossovers to date have been based on borrowed mechanicals – and built for it – by the likes of Mitsubishi . But parent company PSA knows that it can’t rely on borrowed tech for long, and so it’s working on some new crossovers on its own.
