Default 2012 Durango



Dayum. From what I see, it looks pretty muscular. The Explorer's unveiling is on Monday so we'll see how it compares. Ford will likely have the edge in Fuel Efficiency but the Dodge, Ram, or whatever its called looks great. Its got PREPOSTEROUS AMOUNTS OF TESTOSTERONE. Its PROPOSTERONE!

It would appear so. I doubt they're going anywhere as long as their EPA numbers keep creeping up.

"Excuse me, your Jeep is showing."

Despite the obvious platform resemblance, I think it's a huge improvement. I hated the current generation which completely ruined the Durago's big rig-inspired styling. I don't see much of that in this new car, but it definitely looks meaner, like a full size domestic SUV should. This redesign will put the Durango back on the radar of soccer moms and short men everywhere.

I am quite impressed with this SUV. With the Durango and the Cherokee, it looks like Chrysler is trying to take back some of the SUV market.

Looks like a rebadged Jeep, so why not get a Jeep? It does look good though, and its among the first clean sheet design since Daimler fiasco, which has to be good.

Apparently, one formerly bankrupt purveyor of "out of touch" product is!

So let's see, by my count, in the last 30 days a "New Chrysler" has given the car buying public a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and now a new Ramdango. Yep, they certainly "get it" this time round.

If this is what Fiat is gonna do for them, we can just cue the next bailout now!

At least Ford (who I've always loathed) is fielding a broad range of new products and especially bolstering their car lineup rather than their trucks for once. They seem to be paying more than lip service to changes in market demand with stuff like the Focus, Fiesta, MKZ Hybrid, Mustang V6 & V8. They're even innovating in the truck line with the Transit Connect. And Ford did it all in the meltdown with no help from the govamint or furriners. Gotta hand it to Alan Mulally and friends. Maybe it's time to reassess Fix Or Repair Daily.

Man, I'm so glad our tax dollars went to bailing these retards out, we need more piece of crap Chrysler SUVs on the road. For those not keeping track, this is the SECOND time we've done so for Chrysler.

Yeah, but the Chrysler SUV's may actually look like shining stars sitting on a lot next to Fiats. I fear this is not going to end well for the investors (us).
