Default I looked at dodge nitro..

Liked what I saw. Looked very tough. I like the outside and inside. Not as big as it looks on tv but still pretty big. I saw the slt version but I really wanted to see the r/t version. The slt was very nice...leather..chrome wheels so I take it r/t version is gonna be pretty nice with the panted grill and 20 inch rims...Def gonna be a good seller I think. Im next going to look at H3 to compare to the nitro...

2006 SS Trailblazer, thats what i would go with if your going to spend the money you can get one new in the low 30's while their being discounted. just a thought. H3 is small on the inside, once you get in the back seat you wonder where the "size" of the vehicle went.

i saw one run tonight, Lt's, stall, pulley, diff airtube to the intake and a tune running 8.0's in the 1/8th.

i am going to agree with you that nitro is going to be a seller for sure, it has a rich appeal to it.

that would be nice but i would be tempted to mod it..... Also, low you can get a nitro r/t for 25k and get better gas miliage...but i am def going to check out a ss trailblazer

I think those things look horrible and I still dont trust dodge build quality, the diesel full size trucks are ok, but the cars, still questionable. I would get a TB SS
