    Detroit Auto Show concepts.....

    were just flat COOL and I'd bet more than a few end up coming to market. Two of my favorites were the Jeep Hurricane;



    this thing could probably turn around in a broom closet

    and the Chrysler Firepower;



    Sweet....

      those front wheels better counter-rotate, or that thing is going nowhere fast

        Good luck getting that Jeep serviced. I haven't found a single reputable Chrysler dealer in the GTA. And I've been to 5 of them.

          That is purely a concept vehicle, with no chance to make it into production. The idea is nice, though.

            Chrysler has a way of putting wild concept vehicles into production (Prowler, Viper, etc). I'd say there's a good chance a Jeep similar to that might make production....though most certainly without the insane steering setup...

                Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                  My POS Jeep eats U-Joints. I can't wait to get a new vehicle. I might be starting a new side business in the coming months so I might have to keep my Cherokee a little longer.

                    I spent many of my younger years working Jeep/AMC/Renault/Eagle dealerships. Best mechanic's parts counter guy in the state
                    Still remember some of the old part #s (which have all been changed by now)

                      the Chrysler Firepower looks nice except the FFUGLY (Freaking F***ing UGLY) grill

                          Is it me, or does that 'firepower' bear some resemblence to the Aston Martin DB9 ?

                              I meant the overall look of the car in profile...
