I kinda like this...



much better than the crossfire

Chrysler brand standards of elegance, refinement and affordability are executed with precision and passion in this "grand tourer" concept, currently code named "Firepower." Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI V8, the Viper-based vehicle is rooted in a feeling of luxury and performance through sleek design and precise engineering. The Chrysler-branded concept pushes beyond the "sports car" realm by blending expressive detail and engineering. The two-seater concept features a tinted glass roof that extends to the rear liftgate, allowing driver and passenger an enhanced feeling of spaciousness.

 

Ever get the feeling they are trying to emulate Aston Martin

 

i thought the same thing with those wing vents

 

Also, forgive me for saying, but that is looking waaayy to much Benz like. Now is the time for Chrysler to realy start trying to win Europe. Now that Chevy are taking over ALL of the Daewoo garages (selling the rebadged Daewoos........... bad decision )they are going to be really visible in the marketplace. Chrysler needs it's own dealerships rather than always being Chrysler/Jeep.

If they have the PT, Crossfire, Voyager,This new concept (wouldn't do too well, fuel economy and all that!), and another model aimed at families (small SUV type), they could do well........ my 02 anyway!

 

Looks to me like the the DC version of the Shelby GR-1, which had hints of Aston Martin in it.

That aside.....I'm with BM I knda like it.

 

This car is going to show up alongside the "gladiator" concept jeep at this years auto shows. The Firepower is being aimed at the Corvette.

 

the gladiator

 

i know i should hate that jeep... but... i... like it.

oh yeah, and i like the shape of the side window and rear fender on the chrysler. it looks like cross between the crossfire and the ME 412 to me. I like it.

 

The way DC is about making the concepts into production cars in just a few years,
I wonder if this will become a real Vette challenger at Vette prices?
(Hope Ford is watching this one too.)

I too kind of like the design.

 

I like the design. We'll see how a real one looks.

 

I like it. Make it affordable and I'm sold.

 

Wow...that looks like the GR-1

Wish that was the new Charger...probably a Chrysler variant of the Viper to keep the ME-412 company
