They won't have great offers on the 09 for a long while.

Ok so I agree that the 09 rams are wicked also, and do like the idea of the toolbox thing on either side of the box, but I think that takes awway from the look of the truck.....

I'd hold off for the 09 if you think you can afford one, I'd kill for one of those.

I like the looks of the '09 and I think the coil suspension would be sweet, but they are not going to offer the manual trans with any engine! First they dropped the manual V8 in the Dak and now the Ram. Dodge just lost this customer. Guess my next truck will be a Frontier!

A Frontier? Well, you better get that while it lasts, because the next Nissan truck is going to be a rebadged, rebranded '09 Ram.

Yep! Nissan BLOWS!

Just the next Viper might be labeled, "Nissan Viper".

Yep, it looks like it may turn out that way. Took the wife with me to go look at the Rams and the dealers I went to are short on stock of new 08 Rams. Both had one show Laramie 09 Ram which she liked and decided we should hold off for the 09. Too expensive to outright buy so I may lease if the payment looks worth it.
