And the Hemi really isn't anything other than a marketing ploy.

The Ford Escort and the early years of the Ford Focus had their old CVH engine - that had a hemispherical combustion chamber. So did the Corolla if you go far back enough.

Chrysler just has the trademark. And people fall for the idea that a "Hemi" is somehow superior....

Yup. Old 3.8/4.2 Jaguar 6 cylinder engines were "Hemi" too. Chrysler has the name trademarked, or so I'm told.
