Been posted about 5 times, and that has nothing to do with the XF, its been known Chrysler didn't love the XF from day one when they never advertised for it.

I think everything in back of that stupid grill is just fine. As with our XF's a little more refinement on the front end would have made a huge difference in the look/appeal of this car.

Slapping that silly, heavy handed Dodge "signature" grill treatment on the front once again shows some serious deficiency in the design latitude or aptitude of our car designers. Do all Dodges need that grill? If so, find a better design! Looks like a Tonka Toy.

Agreed, this has nothing to do with the XF being discontinued. We bought a concept car guys...we've been over this many times. Love it, enjoy it, or drive something else.

A Chrysler has to look like a Chrysler and a Dodge has to look like a Dodge and nothing else. That's pretty much the bottom line for any car maker. The Dodge Demon is a cute little thing but still has too much rice in it for me. It doe's have our foot pedals in it! I'm guessing it may be more of a chick car than anything else and may be a good seller if the price is right. Kind of like the little Pontiac 2 seater. Time will tell.

172 hp and 2,600 lbs ?

That means it has a worse HP to weight ratio than the Crossfire... Figure 15% drivetrain loss and the thing is a pig... Now why don't they follow the lead of the Solstice ? Will they never learn ?

That little Pontiac 2 seater "Solstice GXP" is putting 260 HP under a 2,900 lb body...
