Yeah. But if it ever makes production, no need to worry. That chrome will be transformed into some cloudy plastic that looks and feels horrible.

Just like the 300.

That's what a lot of mid-late 50's interiors looked like....and back then they used REAL chrome.
However, it causes glare problems in sunlight....one reason why chrome windshield-wiper arms were eventually replaced with the black ones we have today.

does anyone know if this is going to go into production and what anticipated prcie point is?

I'd take this for $35-$40,000 with a HEMI engine.

Nice, REAL NICE!!!

Beautifully detailed for a concept, this car could easily go into production using much of the existing tooling for the Viper. This could be the practical sports car that D-C has long been missing. Exhibiting the elegant touches of the Aston-Martin, reflected in the current Chrysler deco idiom, this car could fit a market for a performance tourer that has been ignored among the domestic automakers - a powerful, silent, luxury vehicle that exudes poise and class. Here is the car for the 'Vette or Viper owner to drive to opening night . . .

It remains to be seen if Chrysler is capable of producing a luxury car. If it could be slotted into the ZO6 - Viper - Porsche - (dare we say, MB-AMG?) market , they might have a winner here.

WOW. Chrysler's design is getting very very appealing now. I see what they're doing now. Take the expensive luxuries out there and scale them down
First the 300c = Bentley
now this = Aston Martin/Viper?
