Re: 2009 Titan =/= Dodge Ram
It won't make sense to have a new Titan in 09. GMC/Chevy had a new model in 07. Toyota just got their Tundra. Both Dodge and Ford will be capturing the attention in 09 and they will fight it out for Truck of the Year. 2010 will be a quiet year and that's when you introduce the new redesigned Titan where all the attention will be on it (though Ford and Dodge might introduce their new HD version). Although numbers don't lie, I live in a small town and now I see Titans coming and going. I myself had an 04 and now an 08. I think the more Titan out there the more people are going to realize that there are other options out there. What most people don't know is what good value the Titan is compared to the others. my 4X4 CC LE LB was thousands less than a comparably equipped Toyota. The Titan and Armada share many part and are built on the same assembly line. They will continue making the Titan as long they are building the Armada. I actually see more Titans than Armadas around here. I think the question that will impact this whole segment is gas prices. Although I can drive my Accord when prices goes to $4 and drive the Titan when I need it instead of daily driver, not everyone can afford to have many cars parked in the driveway. I think this will be a more determining factor in the succes of most trucks these days.
