The Dodge Demon sports car concept will switch to a Chinese-built front-wheel drive platform for a production version.

One-star crash rating, here we come!

A sign of pure desperation. It's going to be more of an engineering debacle than the Sky.

What are these guys thinking ?
"One of the reasons the rear-drive Demon concept would switch to a front-drive platform was emissions regulations, said LaSorda. He said that a direct-injection gasoline engine was in development for the car."
WTF? how hard could be to make a small 4 banger RWD rodster that passes emissions regulations???????

They shouldn't even bother making it if it is going to be FWD. 75% of the market won't care what wheels drive the car, the other 25% will only buy it if it is RWD. A company in as bad a shape as Chrysler should be taking anything they can get now, and not alienating a quarter of a niche market.
