The HEMI V-8 was designed to be cheap. Cheap to build. Cheap to get thru emmissions regulations. It's a big, mass-produced V-8 that Chrysler can pitch to American consumer. Not saying it's a bad engine, just think comparing that to SAAB's engine is comparing apples to oranges.
The whole car is really a Mercedes E-class made cheap for American consumption. Just take one quick look at the chassis and some of the interior modules and it is clear as day.
