I like it a lot.
Something that I don't really understand about American concept cars is what Gm did this year. They came out with these two really cool looking cars and they put a SATURN badge on them???

Saturn originally was meant to compete with the european brands, but somehow shyed away from their original intent. The first pic looks a lot like the new RL. I believe the second pic is of the Saturn Sky which is based on the Pontiac Solstice.

Overall, I think it is rather cool and kudos to the American designers for putting out something that we can talk about. You know, 10 years ago, we made NOTHING interesting. Remember? And these Chrysler guys have done a lot to bring back old american style as well as fresh new stuff. They will have to change the name, though, because right now the exclamation point is part of the name: Firepower! Yuck.

I think they will make it in two years and it is mostly off the shelf parts of the dying viper orders. I love the F-50 / GT 40 type hood.
