I see where they are coming from...provide a cheap FF 2 seater.

However, does the look and name of the Dodge Demon befit a cheap FF toy?

Have you seen the new dodge ram truck? I really wonder if they want to stay in business. They are getting to be almost as bad as ford at making ugly vehicles. I had a ram and loved it...the new one is ugly as sin.

I think the Demon is ugly. I also think it was a bad move to make it FWD. Oh well, I don't like em anyways lol.

Holy crap! That looks like a badly shaped S2K front and a parody on a new eclipse rear (not that THAT wasn't ugly already)

oh, so unwise. but lets be honest, at the price they wanted to sell it for, u think itd actually be a real drivers car? look at the GM solstivce or whatev, on the surface its great but behind the wheel, its no comparison to the mx5.

the daimler attempt would have been worse, and now that its FWD, its a certainty.

heres to another 15 yrs of sales success for mazda. thanks daimler!

side note: the mazda miata is the best selling convertible in history. and more mazdas are raced in motorsport than any other brand....daimler trying to outgun them and then go fwd is a joke.

haha sick burn!
