    There's definately more than a hint of DB7 about that rear to me. I know it sounds odd, but that's the first thing that jumped out at me.

    The shape of the lights plus the Aston-ish kamm tail.
    They've also nicked the traditional vent behind the front wheel. Someone needs to have words with the Chrysler design team methinks.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Again the show car looks cool, I don't have faith that a production version would....sorry....they have jaded me so.

    The Crossfire show car looked cool with a nice aggressive front end then what did they do....made the front look like a 1980's Buick.

    yes looks like an aston martin. now, how is that a bad thing?

    the vent behind the front wheel is a mix between bmw's and astons' vent...so it becomes a different vent, a fire power vent. just as 1 + 2 = 3 and not 1 or 2.

    this car is really cool. loooks like a rocket. love the styling. i drawed someting like it last month... weird. i tough someone stole my drwaing!lol

    anyways, great car, hope its makes it to production ok... un like the crossfire which went from a cool pocket rocket to a MB-GM recyle bin.

    They stole a page from Aston Martin. I know that Astons look stunning, but copying them isn't right. Although I see what you're saying about the side vents. It looks good but I think they should take the "Aston" out of the tail-end.

    I've changed my mind after seeing more pics from the Detroit Auto show, the Firepower is FUGLY!

    I really like it, and I think this would be a great direct competitor to the vette if chrysler is truly serious about this.

    The lower grill looks so out of place on this design, the whole design is just very tortured like the Peugeot 907.

    so far.....i like it. it gives me the impression of a baby viper for some reason tho......not like its its own thing.
