Yes Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia are nice trucks. But they def. drag a** in the weight department.

the new Liberty is basicly the Dodge Nitro with a Jeep Comander front end resemblence. NitroLiberty

Actually the Dodge Nitro is the same as the Patriot. The Liberty rides on the Patriots frame but is a larger vehicle, i.e. longer, taller, more powerful, etc.NitroPatriotLiberty

*buzzzzzz*You are incorrect, sir! Caliber=Compass, Patriot, Mitsu Lancer (base platform only on the Lancer)Nitro=LibertyThe Liberty did actually come first. The Nitro is built off of the platform originally used for the Liberty. It just got its body remodel later in life.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Nitr ... ge_Caliber

Sorry Whelan, Millster is right. It looks like they changed all the sheet metal between the Nitro and the Liberty. When ever a car company does that it gets my

Now Im lost. The Nitro I thought was to be the cousin of the Patriot or vice versa. The Caliber/Compass was to appeal to womenThe Nitro/Patriot to the male segment.All that I read up on said that the Nitro was the same as the Patriot. I have seen a lot of Nitros around lately and none of them look as big as my gf's 05 Liberty. Are you sayin they made the new Liberty smaller?

The Nitro is bigger than the 05-07 Liberty. Just comparing Overall Length05-07 Liberty = 174.4"07 Nitro = 178.9"08 Liberty = 176.9"Here are spec pages for these three http://autos.msn.com/research/...04457h ... /j....html

So its Nitro/Liberty Compass/Caliber and the Patriot is just a sheet metaled Compass?lol, too much to remember. Either way the new Nitro is fugly, but the Liberty is sexy. They def. seem more squashed down than our Liberty, not to mention her Renegade looks like it belongs off-road

Now you've got it Whelan. I can't say I hate the Nitro but I do like the Liberty a little better.

I swear I'm not this dumb normally. Today is a really off day for me apparently. I had work from 8-5 last night, went to my grandmothers and painted her walls in the living room, didnt get home till 10:30 and could not fall asleep till 3am. Now I'm draggin major a** at work and have to go to my gf's birthday dinner at the Melting Pot (fondu) for dinner. I need a Starbucks bad!!!!

Paint kills brain cells. Feel better soon.

i definitely dig the new styling, but the only motor i've read about so far is a v6. any word on them bringing back the diesel?

i love the styling of Dodges Nitro and Caliber much better than Jeeps versions. its all IMO though.

Bring back the Grand Wagoner!!! It's all my great grandpa would own, freakin tanks. Loved em

Isn't the Grand Cherokee today's equivelance of the Grand Wagoner?

Could be I always thought the wagoner was suburban size but I was 8 last time I was in or around one.

There both Horrible how can you honestly say these trucks if you can call them that are in any way an appealing vehicle my wife owned a liberty for about a year and was an ok vehicle but sucked gas like crazy and rode really rough with no room. its a shame dodge has to reach like this for new designs when they probably have one of the best design teams in the business

definitely took the girly feel out of it! i like it, looks like it has balls.
