Urban myth or fact? I don't know, nor do I really care. What I do know is that it is one hellava great little car on the road, and it certainly hits all the right notes in the design sweepstakes as well.
The car was designed by Eric Stoddard. He was a Brit still in design school when he presented his concept to the folks at Diamler Chrysler.
The only thing American on the car is the logo. The car is as perfect a design as you could imagine. A proven German drive train and suspension, built by Karhman from an English designer to fulfill an American inspiration.
And the first (and only) version came out cool.
The NA is a toasty little sportster that is nimble and quick and the SRT version is just a mean machine.
I'll take one! Two if I can afford it.
Nice going Eric!

BTW Jeremy Clarkson is a stuffy dip stick. He can kiss my ****.
