I also liked the review, because you got past the looks and plastic and focused on what people will probably use them for, towing/hauling.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/Mar 10th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
What is the point when you can buy a Ram for the same price? ]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/Mar 10th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/

I think it's silly to get a smaller truck with leather and a subwoofer instead of a much more capable truck that only has a cloth interior.]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
Having said that, I wouldn't sneeze at any of those deals. But if you're the type that leases something brand spanking new, those prices are right in line.]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/

Well, now we know why they aren't selling any Dakotas :p]]>Mar 10th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
Costs as much as a full size, uses gas like a fullsize, hard to park in the city like a fullsize.

But it won't carry plywood between the wheels, only has a 22 gallon tank, doesn't have a useable back seat unless you spend $2500 more for the crew cab.

At least the new 4.7 finally has some balls.]]>Mar 10th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
The Taco can easily rise over $30k...FOR A FREAKIN V-6!!!! ]]>Mar 10th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/Mar 10th 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
The plastics in my new work truck (07 Ram Sport) are tinny and loud, but they 'look' fine.

Having said that, can't wait for the 09's]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/Mar 10th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-dodge-dakota-sport/
Fundamentally, it's fine, but some extra saftey features (stability control is a useful thing in a vehicle that tends to roll over more than the average car) would be nice without having to step into wanna-be half-tons like this or the Tacoma.
