They did a supercar that will never ever see production. They have a Hemi that is highly over rated. This is a comeback???

PS they are doing well. Just playing!!! [Razz]

I dunno about a comeback. A concept car and actual production car are two different things. Just like with GM, Ford, etc. Especially with high performance vehicles, hard to tell if there is a market for them. Who's gonna buy a 'chevy' or 'ford' that costs $100k+ (ok, i know there are small market segments). Those individuals will probably buy a Lambo or Ferrari or Porsche instead.

Nevertheless, I think that Jeep Rescue looks awesome! (better looking and more rugged/practical than that boxy Element thingy). The Rescue also looks like an oversize Wrangler too! Two thumbs up.... That sling Shot looks like a cross between a S2000, Miata, and Z3 coupe. Yuck!

My two cents [Smile]

I agree about the expensive cars, and I like the Jeep.

But being able to produce a decent concept car is the first step in producing good production cars. Im impressed with most of their concept stuff, but the sling shot looks like crap. sort of like a toned down, crummy viper-knockoff.

1. The ME 4-12 will be produced.
2. The Slingshot is suppossed to be a scaled down Viper.

I am still of the opinion that we will see a rwd musclecar out of D-C before we see the 5th gen Camaro... [Wink]
