I'll be at SEMA and will check out what they have to offer up. Once you see the Nitro in person you'll see its no Scion xB wanna-be. This is a vehicle that means business (and NO, I don't work for Dodge).

Even with such conversations these panel vans aren't ideal. The HHR panel has less than 2000 litres of cargo space, even a Skoda Roomster or Dacia MCV offers more (both are not available as panel van yet).

A typical European panel van like the Ford Transit Connect, Fiat Doblo, Citroen Berlingo, Nissan Cubistar or Volkswagen Caddy offers between 2600 and 3100 litres. They use transversally mounted engines, are more economical and shorter than their American counterparts. At least Ford, Nissan and VW are selling cars in the US, so it should not be a big deal for them to equip adjust their European models for the US market and offer an alternative for the panel craze that makes more sense than converted HHRs and Nitros.]]>Oct 18th 2006 5:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/17/dodge-nitro-panel-wagon-previewed-ahead-of-sema-show/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/17/dodge-nitro-panel-wagon-previewed-ahead-of-sema-show/Oct 18th 2006 8:52AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/17/dodge-nitro-panel-wagon-previewed-ahead-of-sema-show/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/17/dodge-nitro-panel-wagon-previewed-ahead-of-sema-show/
The Nitro Panel-van is awesome! I'd rather have that than a truck. I hope Dodge brings it to fruition... I'll buy it... and especially is they put a Hemi in it.

If Dodge puts this into production I will surely order a couple for my business for my men to work out of.
It's the next best thing to a work truck. Enough room to advertise on the side. Space on top to throw a ladder or 2 and can be rugged with 4x4 options.

It's freak'n HOT! ]]>Apr 29th 2008 9:49AM
