Dodge Nitro
The Dodge Nitro looks like a blatant imitation of Land Rover LR3 to me. Square profile, engine portholes, fender flares. The thing that screams Dodge is the huge chrome grille.
I can see what you're saying, but the side windows look like that LR3 mated with a hummber H2. I don't like it. It's too boxy, and where the Liberty has character, this lacks it, despite the attempts. It's like a bug that mimics a leaf, trying to be something it's not.

ReplyDeleteDidn't the Nitro concept debut about the same time as the LR3 broke cover? So the Nitro didn't really copy the LR3.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks pretty good. A more powerful alternative to the Hummer H3. It will sell well.
