More Platform sharing. The Nitro borrows parts from the Jeep Liberty. I've heard Jeep uses parts from the Neon replacement (Caliber) for the new Jeep Compass.

I remember though that the 3.7L V6 they're using was borrowed from Jeep. I don't think it's as big as the Commander though.Edit: Haven't found my copy of Automobile, but I did find this http://usautonews.auto123.com/...50307 The nitro is based on a stretched Liberty.

I saw it on the autoshow. Looks a lot better in real life than on the pictures.

However it looks, though, it will undoubtedly sell well as one of the "smarter SUV's" that people want now, now that their Hummers and whatnot are actually making them feel guilty about driving such huge tanks.
