    Is There A Passenger Version Of The Ram Doblo Coming?

    We know that Ram is getting a version of the Fiat Doblo in the coming future, as a panel van. But that leaves a gaping hole in the lineup for a passenger version. Well that could be changing.

    Automotive News is reporting the Ram team is thinking about adding a passenger van version of the Doblo.

    "We are studying that as a possibility. It could have passenger car applications," said Fred Diaz, President of the Ram brand.

    The Doblo arrives onto Ram dealers in 2013.

    With ya most of the Euro Vans just suck and look slab sided cheap. We need new or updated designs for our market. Why do we get Euro leftovers all the time We and or China are the largest markets not Europe hell Brazil probably has better designs.

    Our vans have slight curves to them... but they are obviously too subtle for the interior fanatics to pick up on. The Euro vans really are boxes... almost perfectly flat with 90 degree folds... except the fronts get some plasticy psuedo-aerodynamic things with a big fish mouth and/or headlights that stretch up onto the A-pillar.

    As for sporty, well, yeah, I think the E-series and Express look sporty compared to the Eurovans. Of course, the idea of 'sporty' in the eye of the common person has been watered down so far to every microcar, sedan, CUV and riding lawnmower that it no longer looks sporty to me... so to me, 'sporty' is a different look... a more in-your-face not-so-aerodynamic look. Yeah... I think a '86 Chevy/Grumman StepVan looks sportier that nearly everything on the road today (exceptions being the pony cars, Vette, CTS coupe, LX Chryslers).

    I built the smallest Sprinter available with a few options... it was like $37k. It comes in a wide range of interesting colors and would really stand out parked down by the river.

    On the Doblo (goofy name that will not translate well), when will we see the NA version? Any word?

      You have the Ford CEO stating how superior their software and driving dynamics are compared to their own EVs. Clearly the rest of the world is happy with driving them even if China is spying on them via the auto. Hard to deny he feelings / thoughts on the Chinese EV.

      Yes, VW EVs do not have a well-regulated battery pack. I feel they rushed it and did not do the R&D to test the build a proper battery pack that would have minimal degradation.

      I don't know why anybody would want to buy a Chinese automobile.

      I could justify it for under 30k. I'm sure it's still a "good" vehicle, just nothing worthy of full MSRP in the 60-70k range. But, even at 29k, I still wouldn't be too thrilled about 230 miles of range, because in the winter it'll be nearly cut in half.

      There is one thing that Im most worried about.  A desperate, down on his luck, meth addict will resort to violence when his cash is low. The usa is this eventual desperate, down on his luck, meth addict.  Already, the usa has threatened Canada's sovereignty a year ago before when the usa still had strong economic power. That economic power is fading away real fast.   1. trump relied on his 51st state rhetoric again and called Carney governor when he and his idiot cabinet realized the big words Carney used against the usa at Davos. Blames the China deal though as to disguise the fact that when Carney was speaking, he and his posse did not understand one spoken word.  2. Scott Bessent, born in south carolina, goes to show you HIS intelligence level regardless if he is a Yale grad, also flaps his lips in bravado...a full phoquing week  past by when he realized what that speech from Carney meant.  Still though...words of full of fight from Bessent to Canada though.   3. Pete Hoekstra talks tough of sending the us airforce into Canada if Canada does not follow through with the F35 purchases. 4. trump verbally attacking not only Greenland's sovereignty, but Denmark's and even Europe as a whole... 5. trump kidnaps Venezuelan's leader along with his wife stealing or trying to steal Venezuela's oil.  Bet you though that trump's friends are reaping from that operation... 6. innocent americans are losing their life murdered by trump's gestapo army called ice.   And all that when the usa is not suffering yet. When it comes to that, the usa is still a powerful military force, what WILL this administration do?     This situation is very alarming more so than the Cuban missile crisis.   And that is why news leaked out that Canada is preparing for a usa invasion and how Canada is to deal with it...
