Aw come on, the Dakota and Durango are 10X uglier than that is...

And they seem to be trying to ugly up the Ram too..bastards.

I will have to agree, I liked the rounded 1st generation Durango and
Dakota. The new "angular" style doesn't look half as good IMHO. The
newest Ram looks a little better than these two, but still not as good
as the earlier version.

The new nitro doesn't look too bad, looks like Dodges' version of the
new Jeep Comanche.

It looks like a mix of a few things. It has rear quarter look of a baby
hummer (you know the girl), the front quarter of a pt. Ugly!!!

I guess that DC is trying to redefine ugly as BOLD, LOL!

Maybe not. The Edmunds video on the site said there's no V8 available.

I agree - not very pretty. But I hope they build this:

If they do, and they don't screw it up, I will be buying one about the
second year it's out. I won't buy right away, due to dealer gouging, and
first year issues. I've done that twice and won't do it again.

Yep, cars like that will sell for 5K+ over MSRP the first year. I don't
blame the dealers though. Why should they sell for less when there are
people shoving money in their face?

I've never been so impatient that I couldn't wait for the "rush" to be
over, but a friend of mine is always buying new models for big bucks and
then dumping them in 6 months or a year. Yes, he has a lot of money.

But none for his pal of over 40 years...sniff.

The new styling of Ford trucks is awful. Just plain boring.
