i think their V10 is more of a wedge motor. The newer Hemis are ALMOST Hemis, probably Hemi enough to call them Hemis i think.

They probably dont make a V6 version because from what i heard the actual Hemi design isnt the best for a clean burn (emmissions). Maybe they couldnt make it work? I think most OHC engines have combustion chambers that are very Hemi-like as well, but arent advertised as "Hemi"
