You could always buy a Nitro and MAKE an M-80!

It's funny, I love the M-80 but I really don't like the Nitro, they ruined it when they turned it into an SUV and changed the headlights.

I think the Nitro would look very cool as a truck.

I think it lost a lot of character from the M-80 design, it looks boxy and more "urbanized".

I wish they would just make it a little bigger than a ranger with the 09 ram front... or something like that.

A dakota looking like an el camino is ****...

I wonder why people think it would be low to the ground. It would obviously have a high suspension.

If it's going to be derived from the LX platform, I would think it would be very difficult within the limits of the design to get a stance that would look at all "truck-ish". All the LX's are long, low sleds.

Also, the Subaru Baja wasn't exactly a resounding success, and the Magnum, arguably the most "practical" LX to date wasn't embraced. Even though I thought it was bitchin.
