    Can someone photoshop a big hood scoop or cowl hood, maybe some MT drags on the back, perhaps flames?  Wow, what a mistake.  I've never seen anything with less style.  But the biggest question is how long does the rubber band last, and where do you put the big key to wind it up?

    What do you expect, it comes from fast paced city life.
    Parking's a breeze plus the driver will get 100,000,000 mpg from it.

    So it's a wise choice for a work vehicle close to the city.  It's not being built to compete against Vipers or Corvettes, nor Top fuel but an efficent car for the average person, eg: Grandma, sister....

    Ugly, not sure, small, yes. View it from non-MoPar eyes we aren't one eyed Chev/Ford drivers.  :thumbsup:

    The article mentioned they were going to hire Pininfarinia (sp?) to design the bodies.  This is the Italian design company that has done the body of almost every Ferrari of the last 30 years.  It may look nothing like that picture.  That said... I'm definitely not buying one!

    Some of you may recall that pic of the Dodge I showed that I saw in Ensenada last summer. It was very similar in appearance to that ugly lil car. I deleted the pic from my file.
