It did not sell. The body was beautiful, but the power they had in it was crap.Too much money for not enough.

Too expensive and under powered (V6) and the Plymouth Division is no longer. All looks, no practicality. A folded road map is about all that would fit in the trunk. Don't know about the safety issue as virtually all cars today are uni-body construction. Trucks have frames. Guess there could be some safety issues with the open wheel concept.

Only had the V6 but they did offer supercharger kits aftermarket that made a huge difference. Bring it back with a small update to the front end and tails and drop in a SRT8 motor from the Jeep or 300, now you got a car!

looked nice but I sure didn't fit. Had the mixed pleasure/horror of driving one a few years ago. With the roof on I couldn't see past the hood. Plus you sit so close to the driver's door, its easy to rap a knuckle on the door while turning.not a car I'd enjoy owning.

They were made from 1997-2002...Throw some NOS on one if you feel it lacked power. They were more cruisers IMO but I have seen some that really got up and went! It was not killed because it was unsafe or anything like that but it was a niche vehicle and considered low volume. Made from 97 to 02, is a decent run I suppose when you think about it!Enough sales to make it that long and most went to collectors I am sure.
