I saw a Nitro today at the Iowa State Fair. I wish I had my camera with me to take some pictures. I thought it looked pretty cool in person. It was blue.

 

There's really more that the Liberty's brother had to offer. Good thing it'll be offered with a 4.0-L SOHC V-6 engine.

 

It's so ugly [8D]

 

Driving up and down I-275 and 696 in metro detroit I have been lucky enough to see the Nitro quite a few times, and it has grown on me

it's a sharp looking vehicle, and I wouldn't mind being seen in one

 

If it didn't have that big bumper, like all the Dodge's are getting, it would be fine to me...

 

We actually had one here at our local dealership, so I took it for a test drive. I drive a Liberty currently, so the ride felt similar, with the main differences being that it has a nicer highway ride than my libby, and not as much engine noise (both have the 3.7 v6). I showed the brochure to my wife (whose lease on her ion ends in march), and now we're ordering one, so hopefully it comes in a couple months. I definately like the fact it is 4 inches longer than the libby, so you can haul more stuff with it. I liked the fold flat seats in the rear and the front passenger as well, which would be nice for hauling 2x4's for my basement I'll be finishing in the next year or two. The pull out tray in the back cargo area is also a nice innovation. All in all, I was pleased with the vehicle.

 

They had a large color photo of one in the "Drive" section of today's paper. Maybe it was the angle of the shot, but that vehicle looked downright homely............[:'(]
