Fucking EL OH EL

further proof that Chrysler/Dodge is fucking retarded.

Newbsauce 01-13-2008 11:00 PM

Wow they certainly fucked up a good chance to make a strong car.

Arkmage 01-13-2008 11:08 PM

if that had been rwd and srt4 powered...mazda would be hurting. but FF will kill it within 4 years.

i think this is the first time i've seen the ass-end of the Demon. Why does it look like a Lambo?

As they said, 93 Capri all over again.

miataz 01-13-2008 11:13 PM

fwd ftl just like supersaiyan93's avatar aha

Trent 01-13-2008 11:44 PM

indeed. the comparison to the mercury capri is poignant. This thing is not going to last long. man, they missed an opportunity to really break into a new market segment, and totally, epically filled the attempt clear to the brim with lose and fail.

Same here. I was thinking that crossed with an Audi TT. Although the whole car looks very S2000ish.

just means you can easily swap an SRT4 motor in

kotomile 01-14-2008 08:14 AM

Thing is, they had plans to use the SRT4 engine, but RWD and in a smaller car. It would have HAULED FUCKING ASS, but they suck at life so they made it FWD.

Newbsauce 01-14-2008 09:16 AM

Well they do not have any small RWD platforms to base it on as far as I know.. so therefore the costs of development would have been to great. Knowing D/Chrysler its probably based on their Jeep Compass/Dodge Caliber platform haha.

MoFackyRed 01-14-2008 09:38 AM

I was never worried that it would squash the miata. It's a damn dodge. You say,"but I like dodge". YOU WOULD!

looks like a good car for luigi

Zabac 01-14-2008 11:59 AM

what about the crossfire chasis?

Braineack 01-14-2008 12:00 PM

some really old mercedes chassis? why? it was shitty when the crossfire used it, it'll be worse now.

miatamania 01-14-2008 12:20 PM

WOW.


EPIC FAIL.


Seriously...All Dodge had to do was get a decent chassis...A SRT-4 motor...make it RWD...and handle decent, not even great...and you'd have one hell of a fast roadster with massive power potential...but no...

FF? wtf? a FF vert is gay as shit.
