Ram Trucks

Well I must live under a big rock because I just found out about how dodge ram trucks are no longer dodge ram's they are just Ram trucks.
Dodge is just doing cars and suv's and Ram is completely different and they are just doing the trucks.

What's you guys take on this?

Yup, they're Ram now. Due to the agreement with Fiat they sepperated ram trucks from the cars because in the contract dodge is to focus on cars only, and Ram is trying to be more apealing to people wanting trucks for what theyre ment to do instead of just the image and style. Somthing like that anyways.

I think I read in diesel power this month. That the cars get the logo but don't get to keep the cross style grille. Where as the trucks don't get the logo but get to keep the grille

I saw that in diesel power but I believe its wrong. The rams have the ram logo, and obviously the grill. The cars all have the grill as well. However the new dodge logo actually is "the grill" and in the center crossbar it says dodge

At least I'm not the only one that fears the Bilderberg. Sucks they not only run the world but my favorite trucks to.

A major attraction of Bilderberg group meetings is that they provide an opportunity for participants to speak and debate candidly and to find out what major figures really think, without the risk of off-the-cuff comments becoming fodder for controversy. However, because of its privacy and refusal to issue news releases, the Bilderberg group is frequently accused of political conspiracies. This outlook has been popular on both extremes of the ideological spectrum, even if they disagree on what the group wants to do. Left-wingers accuse the Bilderberg group of conspiring to impose capitalist domination, while some right-wing groups such as the John Birch Society have accused the group of conspiring to impose a world government and planned economy.

Board Chairman Davignon said the "accusations are unavoidable and don't matter. There will always be people who believe in conspiracies but things happen in a much more incoherent fashion... When people say this is a secret government of the world I say that if we were a secret government of the world we should be bloody ashamed of ourselves".

I guess my point is that if you look at the people who attend, like the owner of Fiat, who now owns Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, etc....the president of Coca Cola, the president of Uni-lever, and rulers of countries, etc, and they do meet in semi secret, (people like Alex Jones etc. hunt to find the meetings, so they aren't as secret as they used to be), why do they meet? And they do in fact rule the world, because we buy there products on a continuous basis, they own the automobile industry (or a huge part), and even everyday household items, etc.....there is something fishy about secret meetings....and I just don't like that some Euro guy owns one of our best and major auto companies, and I find it interesting out of all people he was able to buy it.....probably with "fiat" money...haha!

Don't feel bad, I just found out, too.... It seems like they both bet the grille, Ram gets the logo, and it seems dodge changed theirs to DODGE with 2 red racing stripes at the end. If they are trying to make one type of vehicle more appealing than another, why not just rearrange the dealers' lots? I personally can't see someone coming into a dealership saying well, I want either a Ram, or a Caliber....you usually know that you want one or the other.
