I agree, this thing looks like a winner, especially at that price. The good news for Chrysler is that they have other promising potentials on the horizon.

The new Charger, if released, will be awesome, and is one such hopeful. The concept version has foud doors, which I really like. Sure, the purists will scream bloody murder at the butchering of another age-old American sports car tradition, but times they are changing. The new Mazda rotary-engined sports car also wears four-door sheet metal, which illustrates that Chrysler is not alone in this mentality. And one should remember to look at the example of the effectiveness of the BMW M3 sedan if they are not convinced that a car can wear four doors and still call itself a sports car.

If the manufacturers can squeeze in a second pair of doors, without drastically lengthening the car or impeding handling ability, I say more power to them. If people want sports cars with practicality, by all means, let them eat cake.
