	"As I recall, Chrysler uses a water-cooled turbo in its cars.
	That's why it can offer the 5/50 guarantee on it without
	going broke again."

				John Ruschmeyer

Mr. Ruschmeyer's statement that Chrysler "can" offer a 5/50 guarantee
implies that Chrysler has a choice.  It is my understanding that Chrysler
**MUST** offer this guarantee in order to sell the cars legally in this
country, per EPA mandate that major components whose failure would cause
the vehicle to fail to meet emission/pollution standards **MUST** be covered
by the vehicle manufacturer with a (minimum) 5/50 warranty, even if the rest
of the vehicle has a lesser warranty.

This emission warranty covers (among other things) turbochargers, carburetors,
fuel injection systems, catalytic converters, and certain components of the
ignition system.
