Default 2010's with HEMI's ?

So, i was at the dealership here north of Atl. this weekend for a tire rotate and a salesman approached me. He asked if I was interested in Rubi I was looking at. I told him no, that I had an X in the back getting work. So, since I had the guy there I said "so when is Chrystler gona end up putting a HEMI in these 4 door jeeps". His response was "In 2010"!!! He said they would have 5.7 liter v8's and 6.1 v8's! After choking on my tonge I told him to call me when they got one in. I got home and have been looking around online to confirm this but I see nothing. Have any of you guys seen or heard anything about this?

Nope, I don't know if I would believe a car salesman if he told me the time of the day.

I hear that the 5.7 is about a $19,500 option at the local dealership. They just send it out to get the conversion.

It takes mine 12 parsecs just to reach 75mph. You can forget the Kessel run.
