If you haven't seen this story in the Detroit News (http://www.detnews.com/2004/autosinsider/0406/13/b01-182007.htm) yet, check it out. Money quote:

'“Our industry sources tell us there will be a 6.1-liter Hemi,” said Anthony Pratt, senior manager for global powertrain at J.D. Power and Associates.

Chrysler has begun putting the bigger Hemi in prototype models of the all-new 2005 Dodge Charger sedan, which is in test production in Brampton, Ontario, according to two company sources familiar with the project. The Charger is expected to reach showrooms next spring.'
