Dodge to abandon cross-hair grille

Dodge to abandon cross-hair grille
http://www.allpar.com/news/index.php/20 ... air-grille
The split cross-hair grille that has been trademark of Dodge and Ram vehicles for the past two decades will gradually disappear from Dodge brand vehicles but, like the Ram logo, it will remain as the key styling element for Ram trucks.

According to Ralph Gilles, Dodge will head in a different direction. He said it was too late to start with the 2011 Dodge line as the tooling was in an advanced stage when it was decided to split the car and truck lines.

Calling the decision to keep the signature grille on the Ram a “no-brainer,” Gilles didn’t give any hints about what the replacement might look like but as long as no major changes are made to the underlying support panels it’s possible we’ll see some changes in the 2012 model year and likely we’ll see them in 2013.
That's too bad, but I guess times change...
