I disagree a little about Dodges look. Some of the new vehicles I'm not
crazy about, but I generally like their look. I don't know what you mean
when you say they are doing the "tried and failed method of conformity". I
think their designs are quite different from alot of what is out there. I
don't find the current generation of the dakotas to be too far away from
what they were.
