| Chrysler, so often in the past the bellwether of the "mood" of NAIAS, almost palpably resonated the feel of the market and its own internal strife. Its concept cars - typically a highlight of the show - with one exception fell flat and appeared disconcertingly off-base. Like several other automakers, DCC's concept cars seemed to admit that the company's energies were being spent elsewhere - and so fell back on the increasingly tedious theme of "retro." | |
| Such was the case for DC's odd and gaudy Dodge Super 8 Hemi. Replete with a wraparound winshield and a vintage V-8 driving the rear wheels, the car's desire to recall simpler times was overwhelmed by mammoth proportions and out-of-sync performance potential. | |
| The company hit a homer with the beautifully curved Crossfire, though. This diminutive rear-drive 2-seater, part Audi TT and part BMW coupe, is powered by a supercharged version of the corporate 2.7L DOHC V-6, good for 275 hp. It's mutually agreed the shape was stunning. It also shames some recent concept efforts from "big brother" Mercedes, by the way. DCC's troubles mean Crossfire likely won't ever see the light of day, though, admits one insider. | |
