This thing strikes me as the down syndromed younger brother of the Viper.

I like it. We need more stuff like this and less beige rounded-off bars of soap sedans.

As a field, sheetmetal design is overrated and highly subjective.

Manual transmission, RWD roadsters are too few.

Thus, please build this car.

It looks like it just ate something that didn't taste too good

I think the middle section looks too boring and plain.

Actually it does really look like a collage of so many of it's rivals that just looks odd. Everyone has already mentioned lots of them but it also look slike its trying to borrow some Z4 bangles styling down the side.

Really it looks like at least 3 different cars stuck together.

This isn't a 'hetero' sports car its a Drag Queen sports car.

The grill is big so that it can stick out its glittery tongue during "I Will Survive"

Remember when Nissan pulled back their 350z design and redid it?

No wonder they're calling it the Demon; someone at DCX performed a bit of necromancy on the Copperhead concept, and the resulting zombie isn't so nice looking.

Oh yeah, and if you paint the grill flat black it will look good too

If they keep this thing in a competitive price range with the sky/solstice it will be a bargain, comparable power with almost 400 fewer pounds. And this just the base model!!!

It looks like an S2000 with a TT rear end and a dodge truck grille, and that color is so 1999...
Gross... I understand that the car companies want a unified look through out all their product line, im still confused why dodges has to be that ugly grille...

that grille is just too big, IMO. It's almost cartoonish. But overall I think it'll grow up on me. kudos. now it's time to build it!

Front end is Honda S2000 plus that stupid huge grill, middle is SO mx-5 it hurts and the rear just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the design. Looks a bit TTish.

You know Pete, to buy one, you'll probably need to sell that 7 to raise some funds... hint hint...

If the driving dynamics are on par with any of Dodge's other sporting attempts (Viper, SRT/whatever), if there is a real trunk with some room (not like the Solstice/Sky or Toyota MRS), and the entry level price is under 20K, I will buy one. Period

Looks dated and a cliche already.

No it's not the hetero version, it's the "I'm afraid I might be gay and need a car to assure myself I'm not" model. Works best with some Hummer cologne.

The concept of this car is appealing to me, but the execution of the design is not. Here's hoping the driving dynamics will sway me towards liking it.

Seriously, just put the SRT-4 motor in it, that would be more than enough. Who needs a Hemi when you can always just get a bigger turbo...

It's not the male version of the MX-5, but the HETERO version... (How do you put italics in here anyways? I'm so old-fashioned.) Please make this car. We need more no-frills, true RWD sports cars, no matter how underpowered and plasticky. I'll take this over any of their auto-only offered trash heaps any day. Especially after I spotted that Viper motor/tranny for sale at Foster Auto Parts last week... Probably need a new rearend and driveshaft, though.

Wow. The nose is a Charger, the middle is a MX-5, and the ass-end is a Murcielago.

Now who do I have to kill to see a Hemi in this?
