Basically, high-performance, low price, all the essentials with plenty of room to build upon with a strong aftermarket backing.
Then, I'd like to see them cram a 6.1 hemi between those fenders for an SRT model. ESP optional. Can you say AMG killer?
Of course, that will never happen, considering CAFE, political and business bullshit, and the "demand to satisfy investors," which is a load of crock.
With a 6.1 hemi, tell me that won't run low 12's to high 11's all day long. See if your investors aren't smiling then, DC.
Yes, it is amazing how the youth market doesn't get the attention that it used to receive from American brands. I like your idea of putting some horsepower into a strippo model. Tweak the styling a bit, add a beep beep horn and you'd have a modern Road Runner. If you use the 285hp SRT-4 powertrain I think you'd get the attention of the tuning crowd too. Sell it for $23,000 with Plymouth branding. The Rapid Transit System returns!
