Well Duh...The fat chipmunk strikes again!!!

...I mean it missed again. Look at all of the Nitro's just sitting on the lots. Thank you (soon to be EX-Chrysler VP) Trevor Creed, "Mr. 4 door Charger" who runs the "design" dept.

From Autoblog...Chrysler execs admit the Nitro is a miss. Well duh, they could have hired me years ago to tell them that...

and the Compass is in the same league.

My wife nearly bought one a month ago.  I liked it well enough on the test drive but it is a confusing a bloated market segment.  Even on the Dodge lot they have too many of those crossover-suvvansmallcarstationwagonwhatthehellisit type of vehicles.
Ole Trev' seems to really like the one vehicle fits all approach doesn't he?
The name Nitro didn't do much for either one of us I should add.

 i sometimes scratch my head at all the auto manufacterers, for example chevy wants to compete with ford superduty line... so now chevy has made a truck that is almost identical to the superduty, what happened to original thinking.
and i wonder why they haven't figured out that all the excitement caused by the challenger prototype might be because it is one of very few new vehicles that actually has style and lines and doesn't look like an angry kitchen appliance on wheels. i have never bought a new car and prolly never will, but if i went to a lot or 10 looking for something affordable and practical all i have to choose from is a bunch of squarebox's or some disposable little toy with 12 inch tires.

I actually like the nitro and the new Jeep Patriot...I think they are nice looking vehicles...

There's a new rule in car-making that dictates all SUVs must look like school buses.

Which is exactly what they are!

I should try to get pics of all the lots here in Toledo with the Nitros in them. We BUILD them here. They are everywhere. The new Jeep and old Jeep lots are full of them. The old North Town Mall lots are full of them. I swear to you there are tens of thousands of them in Toledo. I am mixed about them and probably,wouldn't buy one myself, but I hope someone starts to like them. I am sick of seeing them everywhere on transport trucks and rail cars trying to hide them.  You should have seen the time a glitch was found in the electrical system that, all of a sudden, thousands of them start to flash their four way flashers for 2 days until they got them all fixed. It looked like christmas with all the flashing lights all night. I laughed my ass off.

Is it true that the next re-design for the Ram truck will look similar to the Nitro?   

[Ghoste]

I hope not but given Creeds ideas on styling themes being applied throughout the line, I ain't holding my breath either.

It is a butt ugly vehicle. But I entered to win it at the link on top of the thread. It should be worth enough to pay off my 03 Ferd daily driver at least...

Come on lucky 7's... If I win I just hope no one sees it in my yard while I'm trying to sell it.
