2005 DODGE RAM DAYTONA:
http://www.autodeadline.com/detail?s...32361&mime=JPG

I have a feeling this will not win back anyone who thought Dodge was already abusing their heritage.

I apologize if this has already been posted.

 

 

That wing is not big enough, it needs another 24 inches to look right

 

I couldn't care less if they use the name on a truck, but for crying out loud, lose that ridiculous wing!!!

 

I have to give Dodge credit. They are really going all out in making limited & special edition performance trucks.

I'm typically not a fan of trucks & SUVs, but I sat in a Ram Rumble Bee at the San Fran auto show, and it was tough not to fall for that thing.

Not only did it have the Hemi & the "rumble" exhaust. it had shock value (bright yellow) & alot of cool addons. It was also well equipted and still had a sticker price of under $25,000.

Then there was that Chevy Silverado SS and it's $40,000 sticker.

 

Excellent point. However i still think this and the Rumble Bee are ridiculous looking. Me and my wife saw the Rumble Bee in a home depot parking lot a few weeks back and my wife pointed and said "Oh my God, what the hell is that?" This coming from the owner of a green New Beetle.

I know that styling is subjective. But let's face it: Ugly is universal.

 

C'mon Guy!

Are you really going to compare a standard cab toy truck to an extended cab AWD truck with twice the utility? I just can't make that comparison. By the way...the "Rumble Bee" at the local Dodge dealership here was stickered at $32k. I guess if the tacky paint scheme and show factor is your thing, it works.

 

Whats the Hemi(r) motor? The 6.1L?

 

First a 4 door Charger and now a Daytona thats a truck. Must be the Germans doing And thats why the name abuse is happening.

 

confused car historians + honda civic + dodge ram = dodge daytona truck

 

I never liked the look of spoilers on trucks

 

Must be the same guy that decided to christen a 4 door car "CHARGER".

 

"It's the end of the world as we know it....."

 

Dodge must not believe in enhancing the performance of a vehicle without making it look cartoonish. Nothing a couple of wrenches couldn't fix though!

 

Yes, it's kind of a silly wing for a truck, but I don't really see where the Civic fits into the equation. There are some ricey wings out there, but I see very few Civics with wings larger than the original Charger Daytona:

The tall wing encompassed by a stripe with "Daytona" negatived out looks to be right off the original classic to me.
