"US motor industry sources revealed that Dodge would show a small rear-driven roadster at Geneva at the Detroit show in January. They suggested it would be pitched as a very close match for the Mazda MX-5, and also be a clear relation of the Dodge Razor coupe, which was shown at Detroit in 2002. They've turned out to be absolutely right on both counts."

Is it strange i see alot of potential for this car?*

*aftermarket wise i mean - could look and go quite hard

[Street_Dreamer]

depends what ur talking about. On this concept, the only thing i'd do exteriorwise is put a small spoiler on the back to give that rounded shape a bit more aggression, and i'd probably do everything else under the bonnet or in other places, depending on what you want.

[2ndclasscitizen]

I like it. Nice and light with some decent grunt.

Can anyone see a lot of Murcielago in that rear shot though?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I see it definately. but only because of the lighting - the shadow cast on the rear bumper looks Vent-rich.

still, nice car. i think it's almost overly-masculine enough for men to buy it without looking slightly feminine

[zeppelin]

I see it, it's the taillights and general shape of the rear bumper. Very Murcielago like. As a whole I really like this, and hope to see it produced soon.

im getting vibes of S2000

Bit of Viper-nes in the fourth shot. Looks good, nice and angrrrrrry.

[Jack_Bauer]

It'll be interesting to see how well this car stacks up against the MX-5/Miata in handling terms. On the stats sheet it certainly looks half decent, and looks-wise it makes for a more aggressive, 'manlier' alternative to the feminine and cutesy MX-5. Whether it can compare to the MX-5 on the twisties will be the real acid test. Definite potential though.

I see definitely see what you mean.

The front grill is hideous and makes the car seem like its frowning.

[cmcpokey]

ok, i dont see the murci.. but i do see aston in the tail lights.

in order to stand out, i really they should have put the 5.7L Hemi in there from the get-go. like the solstice has the LS6 option, albeit through a long chain and huge expense. dodge can reap a bunch of those sales if they throw it in as an original from the factory option. then, all would all be good and right in this world.

[blackcat77]

Not exactly a breakthrough design, but it's nicely done for the most part. Reduce that gaping maw of a grille and it would be very nice.

[ScionDriver]

This could be good for Dodge. Its a great idea we'll have to see how it is once it hits the streets.

[Ferrer]

I quite like styling, except for the front.

Strangely, though, the engine is mounted tranversely (unless it's a typo)...

Yeah I noticed that too, does seem a little odd. Only explanation I guess would be that they're trying to keep the weight as far back behind the front axle as possible for better weight distribution.

Unless it is just a typo of course.
