I like it, but not with only two seats for my daily driver.
I believe the volume for the US is 18k units. It is powered by the MB 3.2L V6 and available with a 6-speed manual. The engine has the plastic covers on it with the Chrysler Winged Logo. I think it will be a hot seller - at least good for the allocated 18k units.

How has this thread managed to stay in the C-Class forum so long when it has nothing to do with the C-Class and only a corporate relationship to Mercedes? Moderators asleep at the wheel? Ha ha!!!

It looks like
the same 'stylists' that turned out the hideous Prowler and the PT Cruiser got put to work again...
Except they raided the MB parts bin for interior parts and powertrain assemblies - I guess they couldn't cobble together more Neon parts and try to sell it for $35k + and get the public to buy off on the idea.
IMO, its still has all the hallmarks of ugly Chrysler styling - sort of the like the early 60's (1960 - 1964) for Mopars - undeniably ugly, but it gets someone's attention...
Think of Imperials, Valiants, Lancers, and the Dart - the fake spare tire in the trunklid, the wierd fins and the bombsight taillights - truly fine styling, huh?

Think about a 5.7L Aluminum HEMI V8 pumping out over 350hp with a MB designed 5-speed automatic transmission in a rear drive 300N. Don't forget MB electronics, ESP, seat frames , axles and many other E-Class type parts all in a Chrysler for around $35k.

Vettes have the 5.7 lt and produce 385 hp for 2003, but from 1998-2002 they were rated at 345 hp, so it makes sense to use that number.

I never got how or why Ford/GM make big displacemen engines with little hps in compareson when Japanese/German/Italian can make more power from smaller desplacement engines.i.e. the Mustang GT has a 4.6 liter V8, but it can only produce 250 hps and some 290 torque. Come on, 4.6 V8 that is at least worth 300 hps. in contrary, G35/Skyline uses a 3.5 V6 that makes 260 hps and around 250 torque. The 360 modena has a 3.6 V8 that makes 400 hps.

DCX, I remember seeing that car at the auto show in Detroit, the 300Hemi. I think it was 2000, but don't remember for sure. What I do remember about it was the hillariousness of the display. They had it mounted up a couple feet on this turntable w/ a joystick so that people could spin it around and tilt it to look inside while not being able to get close enough to touch it. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to plan for little kids playing with the joystick and they could get that thing to spin a little more than they planned for. I still remember some little kid getting that car spinning a little too much and the Chrysler people pulling the plug on the display for the rest of the show.
