Current Liberty styling will undergo a major change for '08. There will be similarities with the current Dodge Nitro (being built at the same factory as current Liberty's). The Nitro will be the "on-road" version, giving Dodge customers a choice of a smaller option to the Durango.
The Liberty is to retain its "off-road" capabilities.

IMHO, isn't this "common platform" concept what got the US carmakers in trouble a few years ago when virtually all the cars from a manufacturer were basically the same with only restyled trim, grills & interiors? I understand the need to reduce costs, but when you have to see the name plate to tell the difference between models, they get boring.
