For whatever reason, the Durango has always been among my favorite full-size SUV designs.

This is a potentially compelling package. Not that I would buy one. But for someone looking for an SUV...


Bet it would sound mean af with straight pipes.

Oh, also, there's this, which sounds intriguing:

Holy crap.

Did they tie it down?

8600 lbs. Can you tow a race car with that?

I don't see any straps hanging down at the end, but there's so much smoke it's hard to say for certain.

"That thing got a Hemi?"

While I love the concept, I don't like what they did to the bodywork. The Durango itself is pretty attractive, just not with all of those...holes...and stuff. And not in white.

White is not the right color for this.

I assume black would be.
