Survey finds Dodge Demon may not be a hot seller

CNW Marketing Research held a consumer focus group recently to see if people would be interested in buying a production version of the Dodge Demon. Chrysler may not be too happy to find out that the Demon, which they hope to be a strong rival to the Mazda Miata, Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky, scored an 8.6 on a scale of 10.

Looks like a Honda S2000 from the front and Audi TT from the rear..not to mention terrible wheel arch lines. Dodge, refocus your attention on the "Avenger" and "Charger"---can anyone say panel gaps and bad plastic?

Looks sorta like the new Lancer with that big mouth.

Is it me or does anyone else think Chris Bangle is working with Dodge, on the side, with this project.

This car makes the 7 Series look curvy.

Bangle??

Heck, if anything, that front looks very S2000-ish.

It's no secret that this is a slow moving segment. Even if Honda slashed the price of the spectacular driving S2000 by half... we wouldn’t see many more of them on the road. Mazda can vouch for that.

The thing that most attracted me to this car was the price. I'd rather have a Challenger, but I won't pay the ridiculous price that dealers will be gouging the public with. Instead, Chryslerbus should build an affordable, sporty rear-drive coupe and sedan with a turbo or supercharged 4 or V6.

good idea as a CONCEPT.

EXECUTION as an ugly vehicle means it will NEVER be a hot seller.

the original viper was ugly and crude too. but it at least had brute power going for it.

ugliness in this segment just ain't gonna work.

I would buy the Demon, especially in SRT trim. Can we say 290hp 2.4T world engine.

"It's the power stupid." When detroit finally learns this then this may be a car worth buying. Otherwise it is just a late "me too" entry and will be a gigantic FLOP
