Default Re: Dodge Demon

The Demon is a NICE car. Just the thing to reinvigorate Chrysler. Only problem is that it does not have a platform to share or get parts other than switches and the drivetrain (with mods to change from FWD to RWD) The reason GM has been able to keep costs down on the Solstice/Sky is that those cars use a lot of existing parts.

I hope Chrysler can pull it off. The current halo car (300C) shine is getting a little dull (falling sales shows that). What better way than deliver a super macho, Hemi, tire burning, muscle car like the new Challenger, a true world class limited production sports car like the Viper and then the Demon.

I think this car would be an instant success, especially if Chrysler embraces the aftermarket and encourages inexpensive performance and appearance add-ons.

Please, Chrysler, if you do bring this little beastie to us, set realistic sales projections. This is a car that will sell 15-20K units per year in the US. Keep production controlled. Look at the success of the new Mini. Don't overproduce then under market the car like was done with the Crossfire.
