The SlingShot looked good from that angle and even better head on, but if you see the rear or profile shots it looks kinda crappy. It did indeed have the 3 cylinder and was marketed to Europe along with a clone of it with a different name which I think made production there.
The Dodge Razor concept car was really nice and it was almost everything I wanted. It was a pure sports car to the extreme as it was a RWD, manual transmission, 2 seater with no frills what so ever, no carpet, no radio, no A/C, no power windows, mirrors or locks, not even a spare tire. It was pure and raw performance using the SRT-4 2.4L Turbo rated at 250 horsepower and weights absolutely nothing. It looks fairly good, but it's an aquired look. The only things that would have made it better would have been a V8 and different exterior styling since I like some of it but not all.

Thanks for the SlingShot pic, Vinny!
I thought that the rear of the SlingShot looked great... at least it did when I saw it at the car show here in Indy last year.
One car that I forgot to include in my "dream" list is the only GM product that I have ever considered buying: the '85 (or whatever the first year was) Pontiac Fiero 2M4. Yeah, I know... no power, engines that caught on fire, etc. but I still liked it.

I was very interested in the Fiero's for awhile, but I really loved the looks of the last generation MR2 Turbo's.

slingshot was based off the smart roadster/coupe, which has been in production and sold in europe for several years now.71Roadrunner wrote:The SlingShot looked good from that angle and even better head on, but if you see the rear or profile shots it looks kinda crappy.

My choice among comcept cars would be the Chrysler Thunderbolt of the late-90s.
The car I've drooled over since I was a kid was the 1967-68 Mercury Cougars, esp the XR-7. I think they're the hottest looking cars Ford put on the road.
My cat of choice would be the '68 XR-7/GTE. 644 were built. The first 358 were 427/auto only. The manual trans available t the time wouldn't live behind that engine. The last 244 cars were 428 Cobra-Jet with either auto or 4-speed.
