'Morning All-
Just had one of those Dodge Nitros in for some work. What a 'Butt Ugly' thing they are!! They would have to be one of the worst looking 4bys (or SUVs) around. And sitting in the thing was like getting comfortable in a phone box.
The owner claims it's a Hummer on a budget !! Gotta be joking...

Jealousy is a curse and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Be honest it is not going to be going up too many tracks as for hummer on a budget
well each to their own

All Chrysler/dodge vehicles are something else on a budget !!
I don't know how they have the cheek to pretend the Nitro is anything like the Hummer H3 in any way - the Nitro is a POS like virtually all Chrysler stuff.
They only good things they have, they inherited from Daimler, namely engines, transmissions, and chassis. They will have to cease using them sometime I imagine, then what will they do?
Just the view of a slightly biased H3 fan :)
Damn shame the H3 hasn't got the v6 diesel the Jeeps use - that would turn it from a bit of a sows ear (engine is pox, the trannie is unbreakable but should be the 6l60e not the 4l60e) into a silk purse. Oh for a diesel and a 6 speed auto in the Adventure pack - there'd be one in my drive in a blink, except they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand. Sigh !!!!

I think the yanks need to get in touch with what international customers really want.
Look at the new Wrangler Rubicon. How
well would a diesel sell over here.
And a hummer with a diesel...

Agree.
They are another one for the wannabee gangsters and rapcrap artists... you will only see them in black with 40inch rims and rubber bands on them.

They may grow on us at time goes by. I remember when i first saw the current shape Hi-lux. I swore they were the most ugly thing on the road..............however, give them a bullbar & a nice canopy and they don't look too bad. Maybe the Nitro just needs some minor adjustments too lol.

They maybe ugly but demand has outstripped supply, try and place an prder on one and see how long the waiting list is !!! the running gear is a KJ Cherokee without a low range transfer box.
