I understand the Nitro will not be a serious off-roader. If you're looking at 4- wheeling you might need to shop elsewhere. This is a great looking vehicle for general purpose SUV use - mud and snow won't be a problem (on-road). It doesn't seem Rubicon will be part of this Dodge's repertoire.

Since I seriously doubt if I will ever see (much less drive) the Rubicon Trail, I really don't place that capability very high on my list of priorities. What I'm interested in is a vehicle which sits up high, has good visibility, gives a good ride, and can negotiate Indiana snow-falls. I thought that I had thrown in the bonus of saving money on fuel costs by trading for a Jeep Liberty CRD - just in time for the price of gasoline to drop and the price of diesel fuel to soar! Come a year from now, I plan to be one of the "Dodge Boys".

Has anyone seen a breakdown of the dimensions of the Nitro? I'm wondering if the head-room will be appreciably less than that of the Jeep Liberty.

Any idea when we will see the Nitro in the showrooms?
Also, what about colors, any chance of inferno red?

Everything I've read indicates an ETA of August. The color choices would undoubtedly be the same as those for the Ram, Durango and Dakota. "Inferno Red" would have to be included if it's going to be a Dodge!

Any word on an SRT Nitro? Also, since it looks like the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass are twins and I've heard the Nitro will be a re-skinned Liberty, what about a possible diesel? Keep on keepin' on

What I'm hoping for is the 3.5 (rather than the 3.7) V6. Although (technically) smaller, the 3.5 has a whole lot more "poop". Speaking from experience, my opinion of diesels is that they're more trouble than they're worth, for my use, any way.

I'd not heard about a new 4.0 V6, but it sounds like it should be a winner.
