Pretty good article
Quote:
Demon's name is lifted from a tarted-up Dodge Dart back in the 1970s. Called a "roadster with an attitude" by the automaker, the vehicle is powered by Chrysler's 2.4-liter world engine found in several of its U.S. offerings which kicks out 172 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is an estimated 130 mph.
The vehicle is underpinned by an all-new platform, according to the automaker, and could take the Caliber SRT-4's 300-horse turbo version of the 2.4-liter global engine if it reaches production in order to take on the 260 horespower, turbo-powered GXP Solstice/Sky Redline...
...How realistic is this concept? The Demon's unveiling at Geneva hints at production viability and Chrysler says a drivable prototype will be available soon. The Demon's biggest hurdle is the intended price. Chrysler officials say they could undercut the Solstice and Miata's $20,000 or so base price by five grand with a production version, meaning you could have one of these for the price of a stripped Jeep Compass.

First off, I've heard Rumors of GM putting a V6 into the Solctice/Sky. If they do, the Demon doesn't stand a chance.
Second...$15,000 car? Probably using plastic everywhere they can...(cough) interior (cough)
