Unveiled in Detroit, Michigan on January 14, 2008

"The 2008 Dodge ZEO -- Zero Emissions Operation – concept vehicle is a four-passenger, all-electric, "2+2" sport wagon that embraces the bold, emotional characteristic of the Dodge brand. With its 23-inch wheels-to-the corners, heroic proportions and muscular forms, the ZEO exhibits a new youthful breed of muscle-machine interface."

"The advanced propulsion system powering the Dodge ZEO concept is electric-only with a 64 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack capable of at least 250 miles."

"Resting in a rear-wheel drive layout, Dodge ZEO's 200 kilowatt (268 horsepower) single-electric motor contributes to a 0-60 mph time in less than six seconds -- which rivals Chrysler's famed HEMI powerplant."

I think it looks awesome in a funky way, but I wish the American car companies would stop wasting money on stuff they won't produce and start putting that money into the cars they do:banghead: .

^ Nice concept especially for a Chrysler but your wait has been over for sometime, it's callled the Volvo C30 or the Mazda RX-8.

:werd: They need to spend the money refining their cars that are already out, like the G6:thumbsdow

Its nice to see these concepts though once in a while, I'm sure their just testing the waters on market opinion. :dunno:
