I was passed by a Pontiac the other day which looked quite similar. I'll be surprised if they can sell very many.

When I first glanced at the topic, I read it as "Dodge Lemon." Go figure.

i like the idea of it but if they put in that POS engine they have been using in the pt cruisers and neons they will not sell any this direction.

Usually it's Pontiac that puts anemic engines into 2 seaters. But, that doesn't mean that Dodge won't do the same.

On the one hand it looks pretty cool, on the other hand it looks to me, like a collage of other 2 seaters (S2000/Z4/GM stuff). Something about the rear end reminds me of some exotic 2 seater (tail lights, I think)...like a Lambo or the like.

i was not thinking of power output. i was thinking of the head gasket letting go at less than 40k miles.

the turbo neon is plenty stout. i don't know it the head gaskets stay on in the turbo cars or not.

Good thing they are keeping the weight down. More like the Mazda and less like the GM roadsters.

I really dig the angular look.

They say they might put the SRT engine, 300HP. That is if they even build it. It shouldn't have many reliability problems, and likely spank the competition. It's just so rare to see a sports car at all these days, have to wait and see.

i would like to see it in person too. the pictures i suspect do not do it justice.

I've been impressed lately with the doge lineup of cars.

Stylewise, they seem hipper than most other american cars.

I love the dodge charger. Looks cool.

In vegas they use them as taxi's..
