Is Dodge KIDDING??? or on Med's???

Ok, as of 6-03-09, Chrysler is coming out of bankruptcy, they got a pocketful of my tax money and say they are "leaning down" to get more competitive. With that being said, we took the Jeep GC to the local dealership to get serviced yesterday. When we returned to pick it up, I noticed a new Ram 1500 out front that looked interesting.
We (me and the wife) stopped and started looking around. The saleslady came out, unlocked it, and started it up. The truck is somewhat loaded. It doesn't have the "rambox" option, rear seat DVD, bed liner. But other than that, its pretty loaded with leather, 4x4, navigation,...etc....
The window sticker on it 1/2 ton truck is $47,000!!!!!!!... Maybe its just me, but there is NO WAY I will ever give 47,000 for a 1/2 ton truck, no matter how many power accessories it has.
I guess I just compare it to only giving 34,000 for my CTD. Granted, it doesn't have leather, but its pretty loaded.
