Dodge Nitro's a Go!
ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At the California International Auto Show today, the Chrysler Group confirmed production of the Dodge Nitro mid-size SUV for the 2007 model year. Nitro will be the first mid-size SUV for Dodge, completing the brand's current lineup of cars, minivans, trucks, commercial vehicles and a full-size SUV.
"The Dodge Nitro will strengthen and grow the Dodge brand by allowing us to attract a new buyer," said Steven Landry, Vice President - Dodge Marketing, Chrysler Group. "Dodge Nitro will be more than just another typical mid-size SUV; it will attract customers looking for distinctive style, affordable performance and utility."
The Dodge Nitro is based on the Dodge Nitro concept vehicle that was unveiled at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show in February, 2005.
The Dodge Nitro concept vehicle, along with the Dodge Caliber concept vehicle unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show in March, 2005, signify the global expansion of the brand, and embody the bold, powerful and capable characteristics of Dodge. Both the Dodge Nitro and Dodge Caliber will be available for markets outside North America.
Dodge Nitro Concept
With a uniquely bold, powerful design statement that will ignite the mid- size SUV segment, the Dodge Nitro's crisp lines and substantial body size create a brawny character not found in any other mid-size SUV. The Dodge Nitro's spacious interior is both functional and flexible for people and cargo. Chrome, silver and red accents have a dynamic presence throughout the interior. The five-passenger Nitro is designed to attract a customer seeking a distinctive style, sporty performance and cargo flexibility.

HHR = a poor attempt at a Cruiser
I think the Nitro will do ok, but not until it's second year.

YES! Go Dodge way to be. Lets put the uglest concept that you have ever made and put that out on the market and at the sametime get rid of the SRT-4. Yes, this is when I'm proud to be a Mopar fan.

your not a mopar fan. how can not just you, but most of these people consider themselves mopar fans when all they do is whine bitch and complain about concepts and production cars. the charger has 4 doors, thats how ti is, deal with it. the srt4 is gone, thats how it is, deal with it. we have no 2 door cars, thats how it is, deal with it. the nitro is being made, thats how it is deal with it. if you are a mopar fan you would support your company through better or worse, which most of you don't. you are more of fans of certain cars then the company.

Just because I'm a mopar fan does not mean that I agree with everything they do. This just happen to be one of the new models that I'm not a big fan of. Just kind of like when your cheering your favorite football team. You might be a big fan of that team but you still get upset when of the players misses a catch. But, because of a fan you forgive, for lack of a better word.
