I have a hardcopy subscription to the Automotive News, and on the front page of the one that arrived today is a driver's side spy shot of the new Dodge "New Concept Crossover".
Basically, it looks one hell of a lot like a station wagon.
You can see a teeny version of the pic at http://autonews.com. Look on the left side where they show the current front cover. Can't find anything better online.

Funny though... they go through all the trouble of covering them up, yet they take the time to take them out in public and drive them around...lol and wonder how the 'spy' shots end up on the net... :Na_Na_Na_Na:

One thing I found interesting: LED pinpoint taillight glow is peeking thru the camo in the AN shot, and the car has a dual exhaust.
Also wheels and tires that appear significantly undersized. Part of the camo?

Hard to calibrate the TCM and PCM if you don't have drive time in. Takes a couple hundred hours of data collection and tweaking in 'normal' climates, then they move on to cold weather, humid, high altitude, etc. They usually don't mind if the pics are taken on the street. If they're taken while the car is on manufacturer's property, then you better have a good lawyer!!!
I don't know 'bout this one... the magnum was orgasmic, then the mini-mag (caliber) came along and it's pretty cool too. So what, this is a middle ground? Unnecessary car, IMHO.

Meh, crossovers..all the US car companies think theyre gonna get them back in the black. The problem is there are too many already and none of them are particularly interesting.
Boring.

Agreed. These "neither fish nor fowl" things don't do it for me.
Let a car be a car, and a truck be a truck.

I liked the direction, that Dodge was going, better in the last two years with the late 60's-early 70's muscle. Especially with the Charger Daytona and the new colors and decals. I would love to see a MOPARified Magnum. I almost did it after my accident but, chickened out. LOL
Although I understand that they can't do every car like that, the last couple of cars coming out of them have been yawners.
