AutoExpress offered a few more tidbits on the Dodge Demon concept…

Demon Concept Demon Concept

Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the Dodge Demon is a striking two-seater. While bosses are still calling it a concept, it’s closer to the showroom than you might think. Officials are remaining tight-lipped, but the cabrio is tipped to go into production next year.

As with the Chrysler Crossfire, the Demon uses underpinnings from the previous-generation Mercedes SLK - this is the key to the car’s affordable development costs, and should help to keep prices competitive. Featuring the latest Dodge face, the newcomer fits perfectly into the current line-up. At the front, its huge grille is flanked by headlamps inspired by those on the Viper, plus a low airdam.

EDIT: More rumours have the Demon based off the Mercedes A/B-Class. Hopefully come Geneva, we’ll get a definitive answer.

Dodge Demon Concept

February 11, 2007 on 11:00 pm | In Concepts, Dodge, General | No Comments

The spiritual successor to the Dodge Razor Concept, the Dodge Scooter Roadster concept, and perhaps a little of the Dodge Slingshot concept, Dodge will reveal the Dodge Demon Concept at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show.

CAR & DRIVER says:

The Demon is a concept from a company that once made a habit of producing well-received concepts, but Dodge has no vehicle architecture suitable for such a car, so we expect it to remain just a concept. Instead of presaging a production car, the Demon exists only to raise Dodge’s cachet in Europe, where it is scarcely known.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that myself…

There will be those that will cry that the Razor was designed to be produced for around $15K. Folks, that was for a stripper coupe with no amenities. If the Demon is produced, it ain’t gonna be $15K. Picture a more Solstice/Sky-ish $20K. I’m not so sure the Demon name will stick either, what with folks getting all uptight about such things in today’s world.

It gets me wondering just what ELSE could come from such a platform though…remember - FLEX is where it’s at!

Jeep Trailhawk Concept

Merging the core off-road features of the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with an on-road open-air concept vehicle ,Jeep presents the Trailhawk concept.

Jeep Trailhawk Concept

Built off the 116-inch wheelbase Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Trailhawk is an on-road cruiser that doesn’t give up the Jeep off-road capabilities. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think we are looking at the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee (although I’d hope they keep the Trailhawk name.)

Chrysler Nassau Concept

January 8, 2007 on 7:40 pm | In Chrysler, Concepts, General | No Comments

Presented as a “a more emotional and artistic articulation of what it means to be a Chrysler,” the Chrysler Nassau Concept was unveiled at the NAIAS in Detroit today.

Chrysler Nassau Concept

The car is built on a 120″ wheelbase, but appears to be smaller than it really is. Many media people at the show thought it was more Dodge Caliber-sized than Chrysler 300-sized.

The upper portion of the car is painted Mystic Blue Pearl, while the sill and the lower portions of the fascias are done in Starbright Silver.
