Dodge Nitro

[leftback4]

Things I like about the nitro:

1. flared fenders
2. big wheels
3. all around bad @ss look

What do you think? Should I get it? ($20k-ish) I would get it in silver like the one below.

Things I don't like about it:

1) It's ugly as sin.
2) It looks like it's been riced out.
3) Those silver wheels on an SUV are just plain retarded looking.
4) If I want a Jeep, I'll buy a Jeep - not buy a Dodge that wants to look exactly like a Jeep.

i cant believe that theyve made something to look like a scion... only worse.

...all in keeping with Dodge's new strategy of trying to name all their vehicles like American Gladiators.

Coming soon, their new slogan: "Show em yer not a pssy! Now go buy the 2008 Rage, you pssy... GIT-R-DODGE!!!"

[servotron]

...and now.... the list of American Gladiators:

Bold represents cars that already have names taken by Gladiators... Underline represents Dodge cars with names taken by Gladiators. Italics represents names that will probably be taken by Dodge by model year 2010

Diamond
Sunny
Elektra
Siren
Viper
Steel
Nitro
SEB
Sky
Ice
Jazz
Dallas
Tower
Zap
Gemini
Gold
Lace #2
Malibu
Rage
Titan

Blaze
Tank

Ahaha, I drive a Malibu. It's my wife's hand-me-down. She got the minivan and I didn't feel like keeping the Saturn.

Ha ha ha, nooo, the Nitro is awesome! It doesn't look anything like a Jeep. Er, yes the platform is the Liberty, but even all the reviews I've read says the thing looks entirely unique. who is with me?

Oh, well nevermind what any of us said, then. If the reviews told you it doesn't look anything like a Jeep, then clearly it must not look like a Jeep.

i guess in that the jeep has round headlamps and this does not?

Yes, and that the Nitro is longer, has chrome vents on the fenders and dramatic wheel arches, and has a wider footprint. I can see the similarities (it shares a platform with the Liberty, duh) but I also see a lot (if not mostly) differences. Does anyone else not see this?

Jesus, if you want the car, get the car. Why are you coming here for validation for your life's choices? None of us really gives two-shits about what you do or what you drive.

[servotron]

Unless you drive a truck and this is the "show pictures of your cars" thread, in which case you'll be lambasted for personally and singlehandedly destroying the earth.

[servotron]

...and for what it's worth, I think the Nitro looks more like a Scion toaster-car thingie than a Liberty. One of those toaster cars on steroids.

Last time I checked, this was the Automotive forum.

It does remind me a little bit of the Scion - I've heard a few people say that. I like your way of describing it as a car on steroids. :D

[Own Goal Hat-Trick]

a car on steroids. :D

you know what steroids do to your nuts, right?

Ha ha ha - point taken.

Whatever, pal. You're the one that came here looking for our opinions and then got pissy when your choice got lambasted.

Nope, never got pissy. Check yourself, bud.

Check myself? I think you do need to by that Nitro.

[srd....]

i have to agree with Pathogen....if you want it just buy it f.f.s.
why would you even care what anyone on a football website of all things thinks about what you drive :confused:
