Yes it is.
I used to sell Dodge trucks (Jan-March 09) and we would joke about how much they copied Ford. Not so much the design but the trim packages. They were the first to make their trucks feel bigger with the high stance, big grill and 20" wheels which Ford and Chevy have both followed. Basically if it’s a good idea other companies are going to imitate it. The new console shift they have on the new rams is pretty nice too.

I wouldnt want a dodge 'Hemi'. Unless they changed it, they have a serious piston ring problem where the top of the piston comes off. I do like how they look, always thought they were the best looking trucks, and the new 09-10 interior is sexy. However, at the end of the day its a FIAT. Which isnt any better.
Never would I own a dodge.

That's like calling a 'VETTE a VEGA!

What I can't wait to see is a Hemi powered Fiat 500.
That alone will make the merger worthwhile.
