FAIL!

Wow, where do I start with this one.

First, there are legions of Mopar guys that are going to shit egg rolls about seeing the Demon name on this car with Chinese underpinnings.

Second, front wheel drive? Are you serious? Let's look at the cars that this is going to compete against to see how many are front wheel drive. For the sake of ease, cost is not a factor in this list.

Mazda Miata....RWD
Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky...RWD
Honda S2000...RWD
Nissan 350Z....RWD
BMW Z4........RWD

So that's pretty much every two-door two-seat convertible on the market for under $40k. So this means that the Dodge will be the only FWD car in this class. That's not the kind of unique you want to be. The whole point of this type of car is a fun, sporty drive which is the opposite of FWD. If they are trying to compete against other FWD convertibles like the Beetle or Mini then they're screwed already by the lack of a rear seat.

The only hope is that Dodge is aiming for some insanely low price point like under $20K. That would make the Miata the closest competitor price wise. They better keep that price well below $20K because there is no way in hell that a FWD, Chinese-based roadster is going to be able to compete against the Miata.
