I think this should not be an issue for a car costing 200,000+.

Will someone who is able to spend sums like that on a car really be very interested in fuel consumption?

And there are quite a lot of interesting engines around at the moment, just look at the 6 litre 12-cyl motors of Aston Martin, Mercedes, Bentley (i.e. VW), BMW (incl. Rolls-Royce). So I don't really see a scarcity of appropriate engines if Chrysler should stop production.

As for CO2, I personally don't believe in CO2 induced climate change at all. But that's another question.
