Dear Dodge,
If you make this and don’t dull-ify the exterior look on the production model, I will buy it! Looks great, please build!
Love,
Your Target Market

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
Cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

I think the front is sort of cheap looking, as I’ve said before everything is symmetrical and nothing exciting aside from the wheel buldges. The rest of the car though is great looking; I especially like the rear.

Out of the three concept cars that Chrysler presented at the Detroit show, this one is the most attractive. I don’t know whether they will bring this car to market, but some of the design cues could definitely be adapted and applied to future car products for Dodge (this would give the car products a distinct look from the truck products while continuing to utilize the brand’s iconic crosshair grille).

I do think that this vehicle is a nice departure from the bulbous exterior design of the Toyota Prius. I would much rather drive this than a Prius; at least you can look cool and green at the same time.

As a pure-electric the ZEO would price in an around that of the TESLA roadster, maybe. I would think about $50K would be more like it. But anyway, the ZEO would be built as a Serial Hybrid.

You’d lose two of those battery packs, gain a small engine and a 200-300Kw Generator. F/econ would be at least in the mid to high 40s mpg on gas alone, using a plug-in function, the car would return the equivalent on 100+ mpg.

I still say built it. when the batteries and infrastructure catch up, then go pure electric, until then give us something more fun that a Prius.

Like the concept but not sure about the practicality or that the level of technology won’t be price prohibitive.

This car will be loved in a ghetto. Just a hunch. I doubt that electric propulsion will be successful (in a ghetto).

Well, I have to say that I kinda, sorta, maybe, like it! It’s a contrarian car, that’s for sure. I’d like to see it in black.

Clearly taking design cues from Mazda.

Aside for the doors (Straight scissor or standard doors only), this is an easy “build it”. No doubt the styling would be toned down, but if they kept it close, this would prove to be a hot seller. Just go slow and respectfully. I’m sure this car could snag people who wanted a Prius but couldn’t stomach the lack of any “pizazz”.

i like the doors the concept as a hole is good but i find it very impossible that this car would ever make it to production in this form.

At least Chrysler has some plan for an electric car. But as a styling exercise? I don’t think so.

If anyone actually believes any of this crap from Chrysler is coming to the market, I have a great deal for you on an island nation in the Caribbean.

I Agree with Get Real, I thought they were broke and this does seem RX-8ish. they dont need to deliver any concepts until they get back onto theyre feet. the light are kinda cool though.

By: DeansterTJ

DeansterTJ — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:45:31 +0000

NOt that bad, but when they dump the 23s for some 14s and shave some bulk off the car, it’ll look hideous.

Why exactly is Chrysler wasting money on this ???

Chrysler need to make real product to stay alive.

pretty damn ugly and extremely uninspired.. We’re used to a higher standard from Chrysler.

Is it just me or does anyone else see the 2003 Chevy SS concept front end on this car? http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2003-Chevrolet-SS-Concept.htm

Instead of “Ignition”, what about a little Star Trek… like “Engage!”

RX8-ish. But uglier.

This is a little more believable than the Renegade concept, but still I dunno.

Holy **** it’s ugly, IMO. At least it’s RWD.
