We were breaking stories like madmen at Detroit, after our world exclusive drive through Cobo we went to see the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 to have the world's first tailgate using the awesome new RamBox feature. And who volunteered to down the first bottle? Why that would be Dan Bodene of Chrysler Communications. Drink it down boys. galleryPost('ramtailgate', 3, 'World Exclusive Dodge Ram Tailgate');

This be it, folks. Months ago Chrysler's former PR honcho, Jason Vines, talked about the future and blah blah, and two months later we have finally gotten a chance to see the Chrysler ecoVoyager , Dodge Zeo and Jeep Renegade concepts. We gave you all of the details earlier today and showed off Chrysler's oh-so-glorious press pictures, but our photo handiman got to see these things in person and here they be. My impressions? Uglier in person -- all of them. galleryPost('jeeprenegadeexteriordas', 3, 'Jeep Renegade Exterior Live Shots'); galleryPost('jeeprenegadeinteriordas', 3, 'Jeep Renegade Interior Live Shots'); galleryPost('dodgezeoexteriordas', 3, 'Dodge Zeo Exterior Live Shots'); galleryPost('dodgezeointeriordas', 3, 'Dodge Zeo Interior Live Shots'); galleryPost('chryslerecovoyagerexteriordas', 3, 'Chrysler ecoVoyager Exterior Live Shots'); galleryPost('chryslerecovoyagerinteriordas', 3,...

The Dodge Zeo is the second of Chrysler's big concept releases. It is an electric capable of 250 miles on one juice. It is a four-seater that Chrysler is describing as a "2+2," since, of course, people travel in pairs. Way to split up the family, Dodge. galleryPost('dodgezeoconceptpress', 6, 'Dodge Zeo Concept Exterior'); galleryPost('dodgezeoconceptpressinterior', 6, 'Dodge Zeo Concept Interior'); galleryPost('08DodgeZEOConcept', 2, 'Dodge Zeo Concept Sketches'); Battery Electric Vehicle technology in expressive "2+2" Dodge sports car style The 2008 Dodge ZEO -- Zero Emissions Operation - concept vehicle is a four-passenger, all-electric, "2+2" sport wagon that embraces the bold, emotional characteristic of the Dodge brand.

Dodge brought their the Caravan R/T to the floor of the Detroit Auto show. This sporty soccer sled debuted at SEMA last year, but you'll have to forgive us from passing on it the first time. The powertrain details are kind of vague (though it gets a sport-tuned dual exhaust and revised power control module), but it clearly got the sport treatment with new front/rear fascias, rocker panels, lowered suspension and what's clearly a very functional spoiler. On the inside, the R/T gets perforated suede seating inserts with R/T-red accented stitching. A quicker answer to the ubiquitous query: "Are we there yet?" galleryPost('caravanrtdodge', 6, 'Dodge Caravan RT Concept');

Here it is folks, the crowd of cows has parted -- more on that later -- to reveal the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. It's a double-horned blast of new truck-love from the car company owned by Cerberus. As we've told you before the new pickup's got all sorts of horn-y hotness like the RamBox cargo management system available in the crew cab which includes a weatherproof, lockable, illuminated and drainable storage bin built into each of the bed rails -- with a total of 8.6 cubic feet of space. That's enough room to hold up to 10 cases of 12-ounce beverages -- we'll let you choose which beverage in your RamBox, but we'd choose bottles of Bell's Oberon. But there's even more drink storage locations -- like the "store in the floor" storage bins with removable liners, big enough for ten 12-ounce beverages and ice. But why are we still talking? Here's the live reveal and the official press release after the jump. galleryPost('2009DodgeRam1500ExtL'...

Oh boy, heads are gonna roll in Auburn Hills. The picture we showed you earlier of what was purported to be the 2009 Dodge Ram ? Guess what? It is. How do we know? Well, it came off an official Mopar Accessories web page. Oops! Somebody made a boo-boo! Now the whole world gets to see the new Ram pickup well before the official Detroit Auto Show debut.

This press shot was picked off the SRT Forums , where the poster claims it's the new 2009 Dodge Ram. We've no idea whether or not that's true, but what we do know is that since we didn't have access to embargoed press shots before the unveil expected to come at the Detroit Auto Show in 2008, it certainly wasn't us that posted it over there. Hey, maybe next time Chrysler will actually decide our readers are important enough to deserve the embargo access, eh? Whatever, we look forward to watching the stampeding bulls make their way through the city of Detroit in January. What the up-charged Mopar forum fans have to say after the jump. veritas : "I hope that's horribly inaccurate." georgejetson : "I think it looks good. Way better than the hideousness that is the current truck." [via SRT Forums ]
