Well Bob I'm still getting laid off for two weeks at the end of the month and rumor has it 3rd shift will be gone in Aug. So sales can't be that great.

1,000 is not much of a difference, but still a lot of Dakotas are sol and they are great looking trucks. THe onyl people that hate them, are the people who are stuck in the past...

They Shoulda designed the Dakota like it had ***** -- put a CHARGER front end on it!

Make it look mean and intimidating -- that would increase sales...

The Dakota IS ugly. Look at the bumper it sticks out two feet in front of the truck and is way to big. sic! As far as the Charger is concerned that is one sharp looking car. You cant have the new Charger looking like the old one they each have thier place. Dodge could have put a 4 cyl in it!
