    Ouch, lol.


    But yeah, I guess they had to use a name everyone recognized, and I mean there were Chargers in the 80's that had already ruined the "coolness" of the nameplate. (the Shelby ones were little rockets though, like the grandfather of the SRT4)

    Don't feel too bad. When I had a 71 Challenger I had a kid tell me nice "Camaro" one time lol. Then I told him sorry, it's not a Camaro but, a 71 Dodge Challenger. The look on his face was priceless.

    Here's rendered speculation of the proposed Durango replacement...built on the same and upcoming platform for the grand cherokee;

    huh, I don't know if I like it or not yet. Looks like they litterally took the ram grill hood and front bumper and bolted it onto a generic looking body. But then again, I didn't like the new rams at first and now I'm in love. My buddy's 09 ram will be my next truck when he wants to sell it in a couple years.

    The new Rams are way above my 04 in the interior and exterior department. Not to mention I read a few guys running an 09 4x4 Quad Cab/Short Box that ran like a 14.8 or 14.9 with the 5.7L Hemi. That's pretty good for a pig truck like the Ram.

    lol, close.

    They literally took the Ram front end and photochopped it onto the upcoming grand cherokee. It's said to be a little longer than the GC, since IF it comes to market, it'll have 3rd row seating while the GC won't.
