Hi,

Genuinely interested and not having a go, but why would European versions of US vehicles have lean burn ? Euro cars have to have cats like US ones so not sure why (or even if) we would be blessed with this tech ?

AFAIK Euro Chrysler Caravan petrol models are identical to the US ones. We do get Diesel ones too, which most people buy. We also get Diesel Grand Cherokees and 300Cs - I can count the Hemi ones I have seen in the UK on the fingers of 2 fingers.

Cheers
