If this somehow made it to production I would literally sell my Dak the next day because I wouldn't be able to cope with the knowledge that they share the same name.

With the Chevrolet version of this being discontinued due to disappointing sales figures, I don't think Chrysler/Fiat has much motivation to produce a "Dakota" that looks like that.

Maybe the Avalanch? But that was at least a truck based vehicle.

Chrysler would be better off if they brought back the first or second generation Dakota since the powers that be think they need a smaller truck. The 2016 proposed Dakota replacement is not a truck, and looks like the illegitimate offspring of a Honda Ridgeline and a Smart Car.

You mean the Colorado / Canyon? I think they stopped production for a year or two, but it's coming back.

If you mean the Avalanche, I don't think any comparison can be made. The Avalanche is a full size "truck". That Dodge abomination can only be compared to to a Honda Ridgeline, as it's more "car like" and not full size.

I really wish the Jeep Gladiator would get produced:

These would sell so quick, AEV makes a Jeep conversion called the Brute.

Only cost $30k + Jeep for the base, Double Cab Version
