"Direct injection is being worked on, but is still years off."

Über die Pentastar Motoren gibt es sogar schon einen Wikipedia Eintrag - allerdings in englischer Sprache...

The Chrysler Pentastar engine family is a series of aluminium (die-cast cylinder block) dual overhead cam 24-valve V-6 gasoline engines introduced for model-year 2011 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. FCA has invested heavily in plants ($2 billion, not including engineering of the engines themselves). The engine was initially named "Phoenix", but the name was changed before the official launch due to a trademark conflict; the Pentastar name is derived from the now-defunct trademark of the former Chrysler Corporation, which dates back to 1963. The Pentastar was introduced at the 2009 New York Auto Show.[1][2] The engine design also allows the use of E85 or 87 octane fuel, supports cylinder deactivation, and features dual variable valve timing. The Pentastar engine currently does not use EGR [3] however it not only supports the use of the technology but is expected to add it in a near-term engine update known as the "2016 Pentastar".[4] Both Direct Injection as well as forced-air induction options were engineered into the Pentastar engine's design, however, like cylinder deactivation, these have not yet been implemented from the factory and remain "on the shelf" at this time.[

P.S. EGR ist übrigens "Exhaust Gas Recirculation" = Abgasrückführung
