Like I said in the other thread about this, the hybrid (and eventually full electric) is the future at this time. Without a doubt, Chrysler is maneuvering its marketing and future manufacturing to compete with the other brands. It would be suicidal, marketing-wise, if they stood on the sidewalk while all the other brands hopped on the bandwagon of electric vehicles.
I'm not fully convinced that electric vehicles (car/truck) are the way of the future, but that's the direction we are going. The charging infrastructure and battery design is still not completely ready.
The 6-cylinders are going to be the transition. I don't expect them to be around for very long IF the electric 'trend' starts rolling well.
