Talk about in-your-face styling.
That's pretty bad. The front fenders look like they are on backwards.
I think the designers are trying too hard to play Hummer catch-up.

Looks like they're trying to combine a 1990 Ford Explorer (headlights) and a 2005 Range Rover Sport (fender vents).
I think I'll skip breakfast - I just lost my appetite.

i have to bump this because i've watch some of the commercials and it's making me want to hurl...so Daimler Chrysler thinks that the uglier the car the more it will attract the male customers?

This vehicle is based on its corporate brother, the Jeep Liberty, and shares a common platform and many other features. It is the first Dodge small-to-mid-size SUV ( the larger Durango is actually on the borderline betwen mid and full-size ).
I looked at one last weekend, but did not test-drive it ( the local dealership where I was at with my co-worker buying a new Sonata also sells Dodges ). This vehicle, despite its looks, which is another whole subject-area, in some ways is a piece of junk. Like its Dodge and Jeep cousins Caliber, Compass, and Liberty, it used some of the cheapest-looking and cheapest-feeling trim and hardware materials I have seen in a modern car. Only Ford's new Mustang ( an otherwise great-looking car ) comes close. The fit-and-finish, like on the Mustang, borders on offensive.
Both the Hyundai Tuscon and the new redesigned Santa Fe, which I also looked at there at the dealership, blow the Nitro away on build quality. The doors on the new Santa Fe are like bank vaults.
