Good lines and muscular stance, I like it!

Probably won't buy one, though.

You know, I really shouldnt post things like this here anymore. Everyone is so damn predictable. Lets just stick to our EVO/STI, Cayman, Elise comparisons...right?
Just seems like your feelings were hurt a bit by the negativity...

Nah, just got a little perturbed that everyone races to be a smart ass at anything that isnt a 2 seater, nimble, or light. Appreciate it for what it is. Its competing against other big heavy cars with high displacements.

^ I agree. Different cars have different purposes. That's why I want that SL600...

That's pretty cool and I'm glad they're building it. I'm tired of seeing concepts that never come to fruition...GM

I think it looks cool. It's a got a multi-link in the rear, but I'm not sure about the front. It's a pretty sophisticated suspension actually. I don't think I would buy one as I don't love it enough to spend $40k on it or whatever, but it's a pretty sweet looking car.

edit: I hate to harp on the interior, but the steering wheel has to freakin go.


I know it's a lower priced car for the performance you get, but simple things like a better looking steering wheel would go a long way.

Let's face it, regardless of whether or not domestic cars are your thing, the car certianly has some serious sex appeal. It's just evokes a rawness that most cars simply don't have anymore. Maybe 25% of it is its pushrod hemi V8 but 75% of it is certianly
its 1970s styling, it's not the E class Mercedes underpinnings that excite. Fact is styling is a major motivator for emotional vehicle purchases and Chrysler hit it on the head with this car. That said, not by cup of tea.

When I look at that I imagine all the things you could do with a car that is already has incredible stance and presence to make it even look more badass. I don't much get into aftermarket modifications, but when I look at this car it's just screaming for some subtle changes. I think it's going to be one of the new platforms for choice for the after market modifiers. I expect to see about 40 at SEMA. I will hate some of them, but some will look cool.

I would love to see an Open Track version on some 305/325 18's, with some splitters on the front, real low, with about 600HP, all gutted out with matching color cage.

Cool. Too bad the interior bugs me...I prefer the camaro, both in and out, but this interior is just killing me. Screams "rental" to me...oh well.

An ACR edition that pays homage to the late 60's and early 70's racers would be pretty cool. Side exit exhausts please.
