I think this is meant to be more of a GT rather than a ***** to the wall sports car, but it does look great. Reminds me of the GR-1 concept from ford.

Let me tell you, DaimlerCh. has always known how to make good looking cars. The Viper is SOOO GOOD LOOKING and it has a monster under the hood. This new one, and yeah they want it to be more of a GT but be cheaper than the current Viper, looks a little funky but sexy either way.

All the chrome inside makes me want to order a hamburger! Reminds me of an old 1950's diner. (I'm not that old.)

When I first saw it the first thing that came to mind was the Pantera. I really like it but I do think the hood needs to be toned down a bit.

Interior is a work of art. Back end (fenders and roof line) reminds me of the GR-1 concept.

Cool. It looks like DC is taking GM's strategy (take sports car platform, adapt for luxo GT use).

Actually now that I think of it, they had this idea like 10 years ago. The concept for a viper twin with a better interior, softer suspension, and auto transmission was called "Copperhead", IIRC.

The silhouette reminds me of the old S30 240Z. The front grille needs a tweak. I know it's a trademark, but it doesn't belong here. Sorry.

Anyone check out those bitchin' LED foglights? Sweet. I also wanted to comment on the interior, in that it's really shiny, and Art Deco-like. shelleys_man_06 likes.

Too bad it got 'cancelled.'

But it would appear chrysler is at it again...

Seems like our sexy 8 is going to look old rather quickly with all these new designs coming out. I like the look of the 8 better then this one but it looks to be outdone in the looks dept. very soon with the looks of all these concepts.

Yeah, it looks like an aston martin mixed with that concept car that Mercury came out with a few years ago.

How tacky. Chrysler has completely cloned a Viper.





Look familiar?

Eventhe front of their car resembles a snake

If that car was on the road right now pretty sure it would be a chick magnet.

Even though it does resemble the viper, I think it looks better.

The ME412 dieing really upsets me. I knew it was in for trouble as it's main backing on the board got voted out of the board in a corporate coup.. So sad..
