  It does sound as if that might be a misprint. I would think we would
have heard something before now if this was going to be available next
year. (Unless maybe it was going to be a late '98 thing?) Here's a
message that I got through the DML home page from a guy "on the inside"
that relates to this issue:

  So, it looks like we will eventually get a 4 door Dakota. Or, at
least, Chrysler is strongly considering it... Late '98 or '99
might not be a bad guess...
