DeluxeStang Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Not bad, we'll see how it translates to production. We're seeing sedans start to make a bit of a comeback lads. Reminds me of that saying "Everything that's old becomes new again". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dequindre Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Bleh - too anonymous for my tastes. I would prefer something distinctive like the 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically what this, an eye catching flagship model. Most of this tech won't transfer, but much of the design likely will. It looks quite good and properly sleek to my eyes.

mackinaw Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Suicide and gullwing doors? Yeah, right. Very little of what you see in this concept will see production. It's a nice design exercise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like every other vaporware EV sedan/coupe concept to me. Chrysler has so much interesting design heritage to dip into, so I find the anonymous looks a little disappointing.

The concept was amazing, I still recall ram lying and saying it was essentially the same as the production truck. Easily the dumbest product reveal I've seen in some time. Not only because the production version was so much worse than the concept, but because they also revealed the production truck about a month after the concept. So this incredible concept was still fresh in people's minds when they revealed the terrible production version, which made it look even worse by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the lights, none of what the concept offered carried over. Incredibly dumb choice by ram. Can you tell I hate the production version? I hate it, did I mention I hate it?

The problem with it was they just graphed the concept's lights onto the current model and pretended it was cool. The funny thing is, they had that Airflow concept which looked nice, and basically ready for production, and scrapped it to make this concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice looking vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a great looking vehicle, at least from this angle. Of course I didn’t mind the Ram concept either though. I thought it had appropriate styling for a next generation type vehicle.

silvrsvt Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I just noticed this, but the Airflow concept is pretty much just a reskinned Jeep Recon....they have almost identical greenhouses and D pillars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok maybe I am smoking something....LOL from the angle posted it looked more vertical then it actually is. It could be related to the Wagoneer S EV, but I think that is larger vehicle. But at this point it doesn't even matter because it got scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I really liked the Airflow and I hate the Halcyon. The Airflow looked like it could easily be sold in Europe as a Peugeot or Opel model. The airflow's Chrysler almost logo looks like a batman logo in that picture too, even though the Halcyon looks like a Batmobile after a serious accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
