That truck looks a helluva lot better than the crap they are pushing for '07.
....but then again; I'm not a soccer mom, Jeeper wannabe or a yuppy. :D
I'm glad it isn't getting built. I love they way my Gladiator looks (built 04/1964) and the new concept was missing some of the character of the original Gladiators. I'm glad that when I refer to my Gladiator, no one will be thinking about some new 2008 with what looks like a TJ front end on it.......

Very disapointed. One of these with a diesel is the only new vehicle I was considering.
Guess i will have to get a Willys Wagon and a Willys Pickup and make my own Willys extended cab pickup.

...Chrysler is a group that claimed Crew Cab pickups weren't profitable or that diesels wouldn't sell...'nuff said.

Well for a Gladiator style looks like we'll have to stick with AEV for now:rolleyes:

Well I'm kind of happy they're not going to build it either. I had almost talked myself into getting one if they did.
