New Dodge Truck Concept..
I saw this article on MSN, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw it. But I'm really disappointed in Dodge for even considering to bring back the "Rampage."

In the 80's you couldn't help but laugh at one, because it looked like a El' Camino wanna-be. So if you've ever laughed at the new Honda Ridgeline, then you'll laugh at this too. They say it's the same width of a full size Ram, but the length of a Dakota. And get this, it's front wheel drive. If you ask me, the only vehicle that resembles a truck and is front drive should be called an SUV or 'cross-over' vehicle, but surely not a truck. Yet they say that its size could accomodate a 5.7 Hemi. So lets recap, you drive a front drive, mini truck with a hemi?! Sounds like someones got too much time on their hands, and not enough creativity. It'd almost as bad as a some guy putting a car body on a 4x4 chassis. I mean thats cool if you have a bunch of junk cars laying around, but not something for mass production. Thats my $.02!

It looks to me that Dodge needs to stop looking at other companies styling and make the needed changes to the body style they have now. The '06 Ram looks ridiculous to me, thats why i bought an '05 Ram on January of '06. Besides, who would want a front-wheel drive truck? Kinda defeats the purpose of owning a full size truck doesn't it? Just my 2cents
IMHO The new Dodge Rampage looks like a hybrid of a Nissan Titan and a Chevy Avalanche, and the Nitro looks like my moms new Jeep Cammander with a dodge grill on it... I agree with Silentblinder9502 and Dodge should stop looking at other companies styling and try to correct the mistake they made with the new look of the 06 ram... again, this is only my opinion
