Default Should Dodge get rid of the cross-hair grille?



CEO Ralph Giles has stated that Chrysler will do away with the cross-hair grill on Dodge brand cars, but keep it on the RAM brand.

So, do you think getting rid of the cross-hair grill on Dodge brand vehicles is a good idea?

I think if they become more like Fiat, then yes, do away with the cross haired grille.

I feel that the Ram trucks will be more "Dodge" than the new Dodge car line up.

If you got a Big front mount intercooler then i say yes, Also you have to cut it right to look good. I did mine and i think i like it better, but that's just my opinion.

No, they should keep the crosshair grille. Its the signature look of Dodge products, and I wish they could have integrated it into the Challenger.

KEEP IT! definately a signature look, unless they make the charger a 2 door sports car with the flip light like the old R/T.

I think they should change it up now, but it depends on what the new grill will look like. They have to make it very nice

I'm definitely okay with them experimenting with different stuff but to say that they're just getting rid of it all together is pretty lame to me.

The Charger seems to be all "Dodge" to me, Avenger too.

I mean, you guys do know that the Durango is still Dodge and not RAM, right? Do you feel the same way about the Durango?

My dad just came back from a business trip where he had a new Durango for his rental, and he commented on how nice it was even with the 3.5l v6. I thought I read that the largest motor they were going to offer was a 4.0 v6, but you can build one online with the Hemi. Im guessing it has a solid rear axle too. I thought Dodge was going to do away with any trucks.
