    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?

    • These idiots are too stupid to understand that Tariff Turd47 has destroyed any desire for people to come here and spend their hard-earned money. Far better places to visit around the globe where your money will go farther. I have noticed how bad it has become at Home Depot with terrible service, no knowledge by those that do work there plus their founder, chairman, CEO is a Tariff Turd47 Lover, as such I have moved my business to Lowe's and the shopping experience is much better. These kinds of Idiots no longer get my business. Home Depot’s Ken Langone ‘Sold On Trump’ After Tariff Criticism Key Facts Langone, 89, told CNBC he has “never been more excited about the future of America” than he is right now, and that, “like it or not, this guy is getting things done.” He praised Trump’s strike on Iran as “miraculous” and said the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” has “a lot of merit” and will trigger significant economic growth. He told CNBC in 2024 he was afraid Trump would spend the next four years “getting even,” but reversed his position on Tuesday, saying, “I’m happy to say, I’m comfortable he’s not doing that.” Langone said “people are walking with more bounce” and, when asked about his previous criticisms of Trump, said, “when you make a mistake, admit it.” Clearly this IDIOT is only talking with other Billionaires and is clueless to how bad this country has become.
    • 7 people arrested and yet the Jewelry is still missing, crazy. The fact that the DNA evidence was in a database would imply that either the people are already criminals from the past or France is tracking DNA of people even though they say DNA testing is illegal in France. Very interesting, will be more so to see if they actually recover the jewelry, I suspect it is already melted down, diamonds cut and gone forever.
    • WE are going to go into deeper and deeper decline.  UPS is cutting good union jobs and hiring subcontractors, as union busting is more legally possible now.  I am switching my love of cars to a love of cycling and hiking, and have been for a long time.  A used Subaru that can get either me, or me and my bike, to the nearest trail or backroad is all I ask.  Would trade my US citizenship for Canadian or Mexican, without question...or French, or Italian, or Scottish, or Irish, or Spanish, or German, or Polish, or Japanese, or any number of other countries.  We are an international embarrassment.  This is an interesting story. Want to visit the Louvre when i visit France.  The people who scream freedom the loudest are all about freedom until its their guy destroying freedom.  The Scion Xb, the original variant, and a Kia Soul had a love child, with some sort of birth defect.  I get to be like Olds Hurst and put up a music Video!
