I like it... but I don't like the misleading moniker. I think "Nitro" should be reserved for a *****-out fast car... not a cute-ute.

The front remind me of the Nissan Pathfinder.

I don't think it looks that bad. IMO the ugliest car/suv these days is the Honda Ridgeline.

Don't forget, Dodge is Mercedes-owned, and they are going to bring the Smart +2 over here. You talk about as tiny, economical car.....just take a look at THIS:

Now just imagine these on the Interstate next to 18-Wheelers.
