All I can say about that truck is this. When I went to the
Barrett-Jackson auto auction in Palm Beach back in April Dodge was a big
sponsor and had a complete display set up with what they usually have at
the auto shows. The SRT-8 was there (man I want one) as well as the
tomahawk (would never ride it) and several others including the M80. All
I can say is it was much larger than I originally thought. For something
that was supposed to be a compact pickup it was nearly the same size as
the current dak. It was taller though. Either way it could be a
disappointment and a relief depending on what you thought of the truck.
I will say that it looked far better in person than in a picture. I
actually liked it in person (could use a better looking front end) than
what I saw in the pictures.

"DaimlerChrysler has shelved plans for a flashy new pickup truck aimed
at
primarily at first-time buyers under the age of 30. The M80 concept
pickup
was first unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in
Detroit
in January 2002 and got excellent reviews for its aggressive styling."
