I don't like it. It's proportions are all off..........it looks very odd. I also don't like the different color gray around the grill.

That's because it has a 4th gen Camaro windshield rake.

Nope, that's not it. It is because the body is so bulky and tall with a small greehouse area and the bed being very short.

I agree, it isn't proportioned correctly. Photoshop or not.

I think it looks horrible but since it's a Dodge I'm not at all surprised.

Took the words right of my mouth. The big-rig front end has long since been old news, not to mention fugly. How about some fresh new designs from Dodge? And I don't mean those Euro-junk vans they're coming out with
