I wonder who is styling the new vehicles at Dodge? Is it just me or does most of the stuff now suck? I liked the way the Magnum looked, there was no mistaking it as a Dodge, even though some was outsourced the Mercedes. Now they're replacing it with the Journey which looks like a Mazda MPV from the back and maybe Saturnish from the side. It looks more Japanese than anything, definitely goofy in my opinion. The Jeep Compass should just be pushed off a cliff. The Liberty looks weird but I think mostly due to the headlights, that look works for the Outlander tho. The Dakota hasn't looked good since it's third redesign in I think 03, it's getting better, but still is a bit weird. The Durango is just a loss since their redesign, it looks much more convincing as an AWD minivan in Aspen clothing. The Ram they're slowly killing, it had nice headlights in 2002, then they went square, now they put a Charger grill on it? The back of the Caravan looks like it was designed by the guys that did the Villager or the Venture!
Maybe I'm just spoiled with my PT interior, but does Chrysler only get that cheap black as their only color now? It looks like a Cobalt interior, in every car! The new Dodge Ram Laramie is a curious mixture of cheap plastic and woodgrain inlays. Is it just because my car has a variety of colors and textures inside that I hate these interiors?
I don't know if my rant is out of place, but I'm curious, how much do people agree with me? Hopefully it's just me, I like Dodge, and I want them to succeed, be prosperous, and keep on offering great vehicles. But IMHO the only good thing going for them in the near future is the Challenger. Is it just me noticing this?
