The Future of Dodge is here.

I stumbled across this while browsing the web yesterday.


(sorry, I was having issues with the Mexican links)

The Mexican Version has a 1.8l, 110HP, Gasoline Engine.
26.5 mpg city, 36.7 mpg hwy

Brazil has their "flex fuel" (alcohol) version.
Argentina seems to have one similar to Mexico.
I know that Fiat makes Diesel engines, but I don't see one in this pickup.

4 cab variants, I think.

regular cab, 2 door
extended cab, 2 door
double cab, 2 door (short bed)
double cab, 4 door (short bed)

For now, getting one of the pickups into the USA with an engine would be a challenge.

Perhaps one could import the rolling chassis only, and drop in a small Diesel, for example a VW Diesel.

Well, the other option for an engine swap would be starting with a VW Saveiro (Brazil/Argentina) or VW Pointer Pickup (Mexico). Drop the stock engine, bring it across the boarder, and then put in one's choice of VW Engines. I think the Saveiro/Pointer Pickup has a longitudinal engine like the old VW Fox.

And, of course, hopefully get it registered as an "assembled from parts" car.

That thing looks like a cross between a VW Golf/Caddy and a Subaru Brat rolled into one.
Nice looking though...
