Err, get back to me on the looks...I'm still debating. It definitely doesn't look as good as the concept car:

Hmmm... the grille looks awfully close to the new Caddy corporate grille, doesn't it? And the rear is... hmmm...

 

[imported_vr6]

looks good.. but wheres the price tag?

That was EXACTLY what I was thinking. The rear looks interesting though for a coupe.

 

[MeanMeosh]

looks really nice...

I'm not overly excited about the looks either. Is the Crossfire to replace the Prowler as the corporate flagship/icon?

 

[Martin]

looks sweet if you ask me.

 

[TallBill]

IMHO i dont like that boxy look.

Pretty much. I believe today was the last day of Prowler production. They are passing the baton, so to speak.

Yuck! What the h3ll is up with the back? Why did they make it a hatch back?

Well hmmm....umm....hmmmm.....nice drivetrain!

[vi edit]

Didn't the prototype bear a lot of resemblence to the TT?

Or am I confusing it with the new Z? I knew that either Chrysler or Nissan had the designer of the TT on their payroll now, but I couldn't remember which one.

Looks pretty nice.....

But I'll rather get the new Nissan Z.

It's Chrysler....Trevor Creed designed the TT, he's now the VP of Design.
