THere is nothing "Eco" about driving a 6K lb+ brick down the road so please stop trying to polish a turd by calling it Eco... IF you want somethign "Eco" friendly then go by a Prius... Rant off

There is nothing Eco about replacing a functioning older vehicle with new Prius when you factor in production impacts and natural resources used.

You should get a prize for pointing this out; no one ever considers these type of things when the conversation goes "green."

I love the people that frown upon large SUVs as symbols of excess and gluttony; what are you supposed to do if you have 3 or 4 (or more) kids? Drive 2 hybrid sedans instead of 1 SUV?

I believe protecting the environment is very important but you can't just throw logic out the window.

Rant and hijack over.

As far as the Ram 1500 diesel, I think it has the potential to be a big hit but as with all things, time will tell.
