I suspected that! DCX only plan for 30% HEMI's. Some bean counter did not/could not anticipate the demand! They misread the sunroof demand also. That means they will have to account and build more HEMI's, 5-Speed Autos and sunroofs from the suppliers.

The HEMI is built entirely in Mexico and the Tranny in Kokomo, Indiana.

That tranny issue will probably push back the release and availability of the AWD models with V8 and V6 - both use the AutoStick.
