No timing belt, less parts, more reliable.

Some of the engineers had a bit more imagination, regarding new designs. Why mess with a design that's stood the test of time.
The 3.3 evolved into the 3.8 and possibly the 4.0.
My next-door neighbor bought a used Chrysler Pacifica with a 4.0. I said, if that's the engine I think it is, it'll be around for a long time.
