I think it looks cool. And if it gets the old Turbo Neon engine at 300hp, that thing would be a BLAST to drive, and very fast as well.

looks like an uglier Viper.

$20 says if this car ever sees production, Christian activist groups will object to the "Demon" name.

Im a little .. Looks like a Viper and a Audi TT were cut in half and slammed together. Front end looks as if it started life as being rounded and curvaceous and in the middle of the project they decided to revamp everything from the doors back and then went back and added a few hard lines to the front end to try and balance it out. In the 3/4 shots it make the car look very front heavy but from the overhead shots it seems more proportional.?. It could be that the pics are just playing games with my eyes.?. Maybe its just me but from the pics it looks .. I might have a different opinion about it once I saw it in person.

I like it but, like everybody else is saying, way too much Audi back.

Wow, that is UGLEEEE. I mean, Beyond the Valley of the Uglosaurus. I mean, ugly to the ninth power. I mean, ugly with the ability to warp space and time and perhaps rip apart the fabric of the entire universe.

If it doesn't fly or travel through time, I not only don't want one in my driveway, I don't want to see these on the roads. The design makes me physically ill.

Tip to Chrysler: copy Saturn more.

It's pretty gross, like most other Dodges IMO. But if it goes into production -like those other Dodges - it will probably at least go like stink.

Top/trunk design, perhaps. I wouldn't bet the farm on a Dodge interior that looks and feels halfway decent though. They haven't been good in that area. JMO.

I was expecting something nicer in the looks department.

OTOH, if it can actually come in at the 2,600 lbs stated, and all the SRT-4's tuning ability applies - it could eat a GT500.

Oh, I agree. I just mean there is room there for them to have an advantage if they chose to execute it that way; I'm not saying it is likely to happen.

.......OR a Z28. Sobering thought.

Then again, I prefer not to compare an almost exotically-modified car to a bone stock car.

Not to mention a tiny 2 seat "toy" / roadster to a 4 seat muscle coupe.

I'm just comparing performance to performance.

And it is a bit sobering to think you could be driving your big, bad $35,000+ Fifth Gen Z28 and get buzzed by a little pocket rocket with a 4-banger--2 seats or not.
