Default RE: 6spd/Auto Rumor?

I saw that in one of the magazines at one point. I doubt it due to the fact that they don't have a real 6 speed auto that can handle that level of torque, nor one that is designed for rear wheel drive applications. The 62TE is only FWD applications. I doubt they would put the upcoming 68RE (no matter how bad I wish they would). They will most likely use the MB sourced W5A580. If they choose the W5A580 over the 545RFE in the cars, then they will surely not use a Chrysler Group designed transmission on a MB designed (Chrysler Group modified) platform. I think what they meant was a six speed manual.
