Oopsies! (snicker) PickupTruck.com reported to us, "The embargo dam has broken on the all new 2009 Dodge Ram. Earlier today several small photos of the truck appeared. And then Allpar.com published high resolution shots PLUS the press releases. Oh yeah, NY Times broke the embargo too. Find out more HERE!".
In layman's terms, this just means that The New York Times and Allpar opened up the flood gates for everyone else to release all their photos and news about the 2009 Dodge Ram before the official Monday release date and time. I'm sure Chrysler's lawyers will have a few choice words for them. In the meantime, let's get Truckblog up to speed.
We've got all the press releases coming here shortly to Truckblog, but you might be wanting to get your hands on the 2009 Dodge Ram photos released to the press. We've got all 80 of 'em.
The all-new 2009 Dodge Ram pickup truck will be announced next week at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), but you're not there, you're here... so why freeze your arse off in Detroit when you can drool at all the photos from the comfort of your home?
According to Australian automotive site, GoAuto, GM's "H3T" concept is turning into reality in the form of the Hummer H4, scheduled for release in 2010. "Known as the H4 – although this may change by the time it appears around 2010 – it will give the Hummer brand a vital weapon in the United States against premium-priced compact SUVs such as the Nissan Murano. Hummer general manager Martin Walsh revealed that the H4 will be twinned with an upcoming compact General Motors platform, although he stopped short of saying which one it would be."
"Automaker Ford Motor may sell Land Rover, a maker of four-wheel-drive vehicles, along with Jaguar, as part of a shake-up of its British brands, The Sunday Times newspaper reported. Ford's senior management, led by Chairman and chief Executive Bill Ford Jr., was considering packaging the two marques together and selling a majority stake to a financial investor," MSNBC reports.
GM started it, Ford copied it, and now Chrysler is going to offer it if GM continues (which they will). We're going to just throw this out there since our PhotoShop guy already took the time to make this graphic (plus we just love starting rumors). Sometime in July Honda will offer an employee discount program. Look for the program early July, to end by August 1st. You heard it here first, peeps.
