Okay my fellow Dakota mailing list members...
I hate to say it... but my gut fears have come true.
Yes Buzzwatch DOES post lots of rumors... however I have found, on the
whole... that they are very accurate on most of what they report. The minute
I saw the M-80 concept I knew what Dodge was going to do.
I have seen the automotive design industry continue to morph their products
into things that will appeal to younger buyers... so they say... in the
process - forgetting people who do prefer a somewhat more traditional approach
to things.
If this does turn out to be true... then I will try to find a way to purchase
my last Dodge Truck, a brand new (Silver heh heh) Gen III Dakota.
My loyalty to Dodge is in serious question now.
