Hmmm not to bad or not to good looking. They need to do something about that new corporate truck grille. :rofl: I wonder what platform it will be based on?

Aero8 02-12-2007 08:59 AM

Agreed that the grill has to go, I like the hood though.
They need to round out the wheel wells.

i love everything about this except the grill

rx8wannahave 02-12-2007 09:05 AM

It's OK, and yes the rear is very much like the Z (not a good thing, the worst part of the Z) mixed with the new Audi 2 door.

I don't know....for now it's, mehhhhh

When I first saw this, not these pictures, I immediately thought "Bad Chinese Copy of S2000".

mike1324a 02-12-2007 09:07 AM

I like it. Its like a mini viper. 2.4l 4 pot, 6 speed and rwd. Sounds like a good combo to me. I wonder if this is an answer to the solstice/sky. Id like to see it with an srt-4 engine to compete against the gxp/redline. I hope this makes it to production.

350Z and S2000 got it on!!!!!

I would say more like a TT and an S2000

the profile is very TT like

Hightshoe 02-12-2007 09:50 AM

from the side, the front 3/4's look like an s2000, the back quarter looks like a tt

rotarygod 02-12-2007 10:19 AM

It doesn't look that bad overall. It's unfortunate that it has that distinctive Dodge front end to it. That's what completely kills it.

Renesis_8 02-12-2007 10:53 AM

agreed^ with the dodge/Ford corporate grilles, I cant imagine any good looking cars will come out of American car companies. I like the back, some porsche feel to it.

I CAN'T STAND corp grills, it forces your designers to employ a generic style to all their cars which in turn hurts style overall.

Dodge, has a BADDDDDD case of this and even BMW has hurt some cars while their corp grill is better looking. I know they all do it to a certain degree, but I rather my company badge be the only thing added to the creativity of my designers.

if the car does get the green light, i cant wait to see what body kit companys will come out with it .

tiltmode43 02-12-2007 01:57 PM

Front half=s2000
back half=350z

side profile view says it all...

Info says it's not based on anything. New from ground up and at 2600lbs - possible 300hp, I'd hit it. Styling is not really that bad, even the front, and nice side too, but the back to me is a bit iffy too angular. Wonder if they figured how to put more than a handkerchief in it for luggage unlike the Solstice/Sky?

You have to admit that whatever happens with this - the market for small sports cars is heating up - and that has to be good overall - competitiveness improves the breed - and wouldn't it be nice to be out on a track with your 8, some Solstices, Miatas, Skys, and some of these along with the mix of boring sedans? Maybe it would hurryup a MS MX-5 turbo/SC for all we know.... and heh what about the Kabura?? Mazda better get a move on...

MadRonin 02-12-2007 02:40 PM

I do see the S2000 in the front profile. I kinda like it for some odd reason. Too bad I don't like convertibles. I showed it to my wife (who is in the market for a convertible) and she still likes the MX-5 with the retractable hardtop best.

Ajax 02-12-2007 02:46 PM

Corporate grills are everywhere these days. Every single car manufacturer has a front fascia that looks pretty similar to every other car they make, including mazda.
Now, I personally don't care for the dodge front fascia, but you can always tell a dodge from any other car..

Can you say Dodge CROSSFIRE?!?!?!

OMFG you read my mind.. Dunno it looks alright but just gives me that Crossfire vibe yanno.. but it kinda looks like a cat doing a numba 2 :rollingla

The front grill has to go like seriously.. its a TRUCK grill, its what will kill this car if it hits production.

I know! It looked like a Viper shitted on a Crossfire.

Floyd 02-12-2007 05:04 PM

I'd say its looks more like the Solstice's ugly cousin....

dillsrotary 02-12-2007 05:20 PM

it's gotta be the same platform as the crossfire, but smartly this one isn't an auto, you have the choice of a 6speed manual. and the rear def looks xfire convertible related.

It is the same platform.

therm8 02-12-2007 05:40 PM

Any word on production? I don't see Dodge making it in the roadster market. There's limited room in the niche. They're doing fine without one and should stick with the big, gangsta sedans. Based on looks alone, I would never consider it. It looks much heavier than 2600lbs.
