Dodge Demon [General] — Michael @ 4:37 am

I have a new automotive obsession:

First came Viper - totally unobtainable yet totally sexy.

Then came Prowler - less unobtainable but discontinued before its time.  Still a major crowd gatherer wherever it appears.

As a jaunt, there was the Dodge Razor, a concept car that would have been fun, but too aggressive in its lines and appearances.

Most recently there is Crossfire, the Chrysler roadster that is still the car I want to have.

But now, Dodge has unleashed a concept car at the Geneva auto show that has to auto world abuzz with talk, such as the headline of a car critic that lauds, "build it, Dodge, and the buyers will come."  Like me.

So, welcome to the world, Dodge Demon.  You are a 2-seater convertible roadster will hard lines, Viperish good looks, and a dirt-simple but gorgeously retro interior.  I pine for you.  Build it, Dodge.  The buyers are waiting. 

UPDATE: I should mention that as showcased in Geneva, the Demon stands to be as attainable as the Viper is unattainable.  Production could start as low as $15k for this sporty little car, though not until at least the 2009 model year (2008 Dodges are already announced).
