I'm curious what Chrysler's 8-speed automatic could do in an MPG application.

For example, if the Dakota wasn't so buttugly, they could use the "smart" 4cyl from the Dart with the 8 speed automatic, and possibly beat the typical Ford Ranger parts runner trucks in efficiency. Or taxi cabs with 8 speeds. Or police vehicles. State fleet vehicles.
