Chrysler Nassau News **Unveiled (page 1)**

Chrysler unveils concept sketches - - Source: Automotive News / November 22, 2006

While the Dodge brand will be adding the highly retro-styled, rear-drive Challenger coupe in 2008, Chrysler has given no hint if it might create a rwd coupe for the Chrysler brand. Until now, that is.

The V-8 powered Chrysler Nassau concept is described as a four-passenger, four door with a roof designed to give it a coupe-like appearance. An unveiling is planned in January at the Detroit auto show.

Yeah, unfortunately everyone from Aston to BMW to Porsche is drinking the "4 door coupe" Koolaid. Why can't a sedan with a sexy, coupe-like roofline just that? Anyway, the sketch looks nice. I look forward to seeing the concept.

Looks kinda cool. I just hope they don't make it a huge boat and don't give it the new Sebring hood .

Hell, the Nassau's hot. If they could pull off a production version close to the concept, I'd consider it for sure.

That's pretty damn cool, but the hatch is, ugh, wtfbbq. If they're willing to give this a shot, I think they're foolish for not bringing the Crossfire to market...

I think the Crossfire debacle showed that too much is too much.

That car just doesn't make sense. Chewbacca is a Wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on Endor! Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Eliminate the hatch design and you'd get a pretty good looking car.

I wouldn't mind the hatch design, it's unique and I love it. Do it Chrysler!

Yeah when I looked at the rendering at the very top Id never imagine it'd turn out to be a station wagon.

Here's more information and more pics on the Nassau:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=119030

It has a 6.1 liter hemi V8 and 425 hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you just love that glass roof?

This vehicle is designed by a couple of young guys in California - way to go! In fact, I detect a lot of Acura design cues in there, including the crease on the side and also the crease in the center throughout the car, just like how that Acura chief designer talked about the Advanced Sedan Concept.

Wow, this car is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, Chrysler, produce it and it may well be my first American car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
