Dodge Zeo concept; RX8 hatchback?

http://jalopnik.com/344236/detroit-a...ge-zeo-concept

I don't know why Chrysler can't get away from their Dodge Truck grill on every car they make.

What exactly makes this an rx8 hatchback? the fact that both cars share similar front fenders? IMO this looks nothing like an rx8.

I see where you're coming from:

-front fenders
-door crease
-side windows

Since the Crossfire is now out of the picture...

0-60 in 5.7 but an 11 sec quarter? What the, if its electric steady torque curve right? 3.7 might be more accurate...

Well, it has wheel arches so sure I guess it's similar. Then again, so much of today's design is something from something else.

That's actually pretty close to looking like a decent car. Fix up the messed up rear end, ditch the Dodge grille, and you've got a decent looking car.

Actually.... it's the Chevy Logo.

Chevy has alway used the cross.

I dunno.... it looks like a generic rehash of mid/late 90's concept cars. It's not ugly, there's just nothing particularly new or special about it, style-wise.

Soon as I looked at it, I thought of the RX-8. If you believe that immitation is the highest form of flattery, then this is certainly another affirmation of the RX-8 concept and design. The over-wide, scissor doors make the free-style rear doors unnecessary. I have always liked hatchback designs, as with the old Volvo P1800. I think it is an excellent concept and would love to see it in production as long as it has cutting-edge technology in its electronics and drive-train.
