References to Chrysler[edit]

References to Stellantis as Chrysler are misleading and not needed on this article as they imply some connection or equivalency to an organization that has not existed for nearly a decade and has had no involvement in the development of the motor. What is the point of doing this repeatedly? 2600:6C64:507F:D378:1CC7:4495:7C44:E834 (talk) 17:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems split history with the "Hurricane" / "Global Medium Engine", Inline-4 vs Inline-6 variant, and the FCA vs Stellantis ownership. At a minimum, it needs to point this out, but in reality, it probably needs to merge with a second article that it splits history with.[edit]

I prefer not to wikiedit, but I'd like to point out that, at the least, someone should make mention of (and link to the) FCA Global Medium Engine. That's the 4-cylinder engine which the straight-six version is derived from. Going even further, someone might want to merge the two pages. Yes, Stellantis bought out FCA, but as of their 2023 press releases, Stellantis themselves are referring to their 4 cylinder hurricane engine, with the Stellantis name, and on their own official website, as follows: [1] The fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is part of Stellantis’s Global Medium Engine family. The reason you don't see much of this elsewhere on the web is because it is being drowned out by the insane hype of the yet-to-be-produced variant, described in this article (as the 6 cylinder variant being offered as a replacement for the v8 engine).

A brave editor (again, not me) would find a way to merge the older page FCA Global Medium Engine with this page Stellantis Hurricane engine because they are both Stellantis Global Medium Engines being described here, only one is 4 cylinder and the other is 6 cylinder (and BOTH are now in production to this day). Due to the past (and potentially future) changes of the company name, I'd vote that the FCA or Stellantis name be omitted altogether, and then make sure it responds to both the "Hurricane Engine" and the "Global Medium Engine" name.

I realize I'm saying a number of things here, but what I'm trying to point out is that creating an article with the title "Stellantis Hurricane Engine" should also include all of the information under the FCA Global Medium Engine name. Stellantis now owns and continues to churn out the 4-cylinder "Hurricane" Global Medium Engine that was derived from the Alfa Romeo Giulia in 2016. Now that Stellantis continues to produce the Global Medium Engine (even to this day), putting FCA in the title of the article seems to be a poor choice. An ideal article would cover what is now a whole family of engines, much like the other article does, and continuing it to the present day in the Jeep Wagoneer (as this article does).

NOTE: It is much easier to find references to the 6 cylinder variant due to the hype, but with good searching, I was able to find quite a few high quality references to the Stellantis Hurricane Engine in the 4 cylinder variety. Hope this helps. This really needs straightened up before this page becomes even more popular in 2025 where the Dodge Charger should be using this as it's powerplant. --Jmccorm (talk) 00:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
