QOTD: How Long Can the Hemi Last?

Tim Healey

Dodge continues to stretch the Hemi.


Sure, the Hurricane is around, and the brand has electrification plans, but despite promises to cut the Hemi, it seems Dodge/Stellantis can't quite quit it.

There's nothing wrong with selling products that will move, of course, but Stellantis seems to be behind the competition when it comes to electrification -- or even using forced induction to make smaller-displacement engines be powerful while also increasing fuel economy.

So with that in mind, how long is the Hemi going to hang around? How many more special editions will we see?

Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    The 2010 Liberty stopped by today with its non-twin-turbo non-inline non-Hemi non-V8. Checked tires, checked fluids, checked fuel trims, checked misfire codes (all zero), changed the oil and filter. 215K miles (almost one-way to the Moon if you timed it correctly). The last over-the-air update happened never; the engine computer functions better than this website. I did not refer to the television that I do not have in my shop. I did not use any Snap-On tools. There *was* a lululemon keychain attached to the keys. That vehicle has taught me more about cars than any of our GM or Toyota vehicles (you can tell me why lol). It has earned my grudging respect. Carry on.
