Any guesses on a timeframe until DCX gets REALLY UGLY?

[Charger_Fan]

So, shall we take bets on how long it takes before the new Dodges look similar to Ford's new Super Duty front end?

(this poor truck is crying inside )





The styling direction the automakers are going these days is just not understandable.
At least the "non-fleet" trucks have some chrome & equally fugly bling on them...

Yikes! I didn't think Ford trucks could get any uglier but I was wrong.

I'm the last guy to defend Ford, but this isn't their fault...they have to design around the new diesel emissions regs which reate ridiculous amounts of heat in the engines necessitating superior cooling ergo the HUGE grille opening.  There was a big discussion about it on Allpar.

Kinda reminds me of a whale with those lower headlights and huge grill.

What is the deal with the new diesel emissions? I assume all the "clean" diesels require special low sulfur fuel to run and I have yet to see it at the local pumps. Sometimes it is hard just to find diesel and now there are two types.

What happened to the days when the manufacturer's could actually put some thought into it and produce timeless designs.

My '73 Ford and the other GM and Dodges of that vintage still look good today, a credit to the designers.

It's not even 2008 and that Ford in the first picture is already ugly.

Would look ok to me if they didn't put the headlights in upside down. and that has nothing to do with emissions

BTW- the new Chevys and GMCs are ugly too. Up til this year, I did like their looks.

I have to agree my 79 Blazer still looks good and its older than I am (barely)

[REDNECK]

well the new gmc dose not look that ugly and they have the same emissions standards.

Looks like a truck Clark W. Griswold would buy.

That front end reminds of me the actress Rene Zelwigger, you know...the one who always looks like she's sucking on a lemon....

I think that Detroit is in an ugly phase just like from 59-62 when I think everything out of Detroit was ugly.History repeats itself.

Only problem I have with that statement is the cars were not THAT ugly even back then.

[Lostsheep_01]

They have the door open and the key in the ignition and nobody will even think about stealing it! That thing makes me wanna    Glad it's a Ferd!

[ACUDANUT]

 HEY, I'll take the new 2008 Ford Diesel Truck.  I am done with Dodge Trucks.  My last New dodge I bought was a 1997 and it went through 3 transmissions and the paint flaked off.  Dodge did nothing about it.
I love OLD SCHOOL Dodge but not the new junk that has the worst resale value.... But, that's another story.

I thought the '08s didn't come out until about halfway through '07? It's starting to get like the magazine subscriptions where you get the April issue in February.
