I would roll heads starting with Nardelli...
I thought Jim Pass did a good job.
If I wanted a Ford, I'd buy a Ford...
The rear coils will work well if properly implemented - rover has been using them for 20 years as have heavy trucks...
The Cummins should have been ready at this unveiling.
V-10 on the initial unveiling? Hasn't anyone at Chrysler been watching gas prices? Stupid! They should also have had a 35mpg V6 or turbo'd 4 banger available... That would have made news...
I do like the bedside storage idea. However, it does reduce usable space in the bed. Still, a great idea though...
Floor compartments are also interesting although out of reach of the driver...
All the bells and whistles are for the yuppy market segment and have to be there unfortunately...
Heated steering wheel? Give me a break...
They've done a nice job tuning the V-10 but should have concentrated a bit more on squeezing some economy out of it. 5% is nothing...
Overall, they've done a nice job. I just think they've missed a huge chunk of the market though by continuing to focus on gas guzzling technology...
I think the market would have responded much more favorably to 200 hp that gets 38 mpg.... while still having enough torque to pull a ski boat or jet ski trailer when one needs to...
Just my $.02...
