Question

Well, since it seems I'm in the minority that isn't put off by it, does anyone think it's design is as bad as Aztec's or the pre-uncladed Avalanche?

The Aztek is the king of ugly cars!!!! I think this is the wrong crowd to ask about trucks, most people here seem to not like trucks.

I think the Honda Element and new Porche SUV are close runners up to the Aztek.

The M80 just looks so juvenile in design, like someone said it looks just like a toy, something that a kid would draw. Avalanche? No not fond of that either, but it does at least have a masculine look to it. I predict right now that the M80 will be the undisputed champion of "women's trucks", if nothing else.

I can see how someone might not like it's looks...but I definately don't see it as a "women's truck".

BTW......it really looks alot better in person.....really, I'm not kidding.

'ziiiiiiiip'

ah, (pats trusty flame suit)

i think that truck is cool as hell imo, trucks serve two purposes: 1) hauling stuff. 2) running over stuff. I could honestly see one towing a dirtbike or two, my Formula, etc... and more importantly, running over stuff!!!!

seriously, i think it's a neat truck and like i said in the rx-8 thread, anything not bland gets props in my book

Sorry, the M80 is ugly from every viewing angle I tried when I saw it at the last Detroit Auto Show. Hideous, toylike, overly retro, and underpowered. I predict it will have a small niche but fail to be a long-term profitmaker.

The only good thing about this abomination is that GM didn’t design it.

LMFAO couldnt have said it any better. That is the only joy for me when being in a truck.

I also saw it in person and it still made me want to vomit lol. Are they marketing it to 6-10 year old males?

I wouldn't say it's under powered, it has a 210HP V6 and is a pretty small truck. For Christ sake, what do you want in this thing? a Hemi???? wait a minute......... thats not such a bad idea!!

I'm not afraid to say I love it. I think it's awsome. You can say anything you want about me or my taste in cars, but I'd be willing to buy one and that's all dodge cares about, so go ahead dodge, build it!
