anything that takes sales away from the dodge ram will not happen. not even if its a great idea. i would love a diesel dak but i know it will not happen any time soon since people these days are not looking for a mid sized diesel with good fuel economy. they just want the biggest fuel guzzler they can find. http//wwwsg.daimlerchrysler.com/sd7dev/gms/templates/gmspresskit/029700-1-62101-1-1-text-0-6209700.html note the horsepower and torque figures. i think itd look good under the hood of a dakota. at least. ap .
