Another case of regurgitating a former glorious moniker in hopes of reviving some long lost MoPar MOJO! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Now the '08 Chally? That's another story! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I agree -----It's like offering a kid broccoli and telling him it's candy......

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Not that it bothered me at the time, but the name "Demon" caused alot of bad press from the Evangelicals who disapproved of it. Chrysler dropped the name because of this. Hard to believe they are that stupid to bring it back. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
Of course, "No va" in spanish means "no go", and a "Matador" is a "killer", not a bull fighter. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
This is why marketeing people have a hard time getting any respect. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

I think it's kind of cool. If anyone has a problem with Demon they ought to be taken out back and shot...its a car name for crying out loud.

It looks like a miata retaining water.

The "Nova" story is told in just about every business and marketing class. Too bad its not true, just another urban legend.

Here's a link to the real story.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif But the flip side of this story: We had a Catholic Priest from the Quincy, IL area who used to race at our strip; a Great Guy and a dedicated, hardcore, successful racer. His name was David Munn and he had his car lettered as "Father D.MUNN" with a little devil incorporated in the artwork.
Unfortunately he died of natural causes at a very early age,(around forty if I remember correctly.) Everyone liked and respected the guy. Just a lot of fun to be around, and obviously a cool sense of humor. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Marc, Belair, I was LIED to. I use Snopes all the time, but never thought to look for this particular example, since I heard it in college.

...Not that it bothered me at the time, but the name "Demon" caused alot of bad press from the Evangelicals who disapproved of it...

I remember once when Dad's new '71 Polara was in for dealer service they laid a new purple 340 Demon on us for the weekend.. Of course this included church on Sunday and we parked at the back of the lot so no one would notice we came with the Demon!.

As far as the new Demon goes, it looks too much like a warmed over Crossfire...no thanks..

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

ugly as it is I'll bet it would be fun with a new Hemi and a 6 speed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif or that Viper motor https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Jeez, all the complaining about "ricers" and about how today's kids don't appreciate American muscle and then Detroit makes an effort (in this new Demon, for example) to beat-back the ricer, etc., attack on our market and you guys complain about that. I realize that some guys like certain cars and some guys do not--that's normal. As soon as I clicked the link and saw that gold Demon prototype I thought "cool." Maybe I'd buy one, maybe not, but at least Mopar is trying. No wonder Detroit is cautious about what they are willing to produce--we complain about what they should build, Detroit builds it, and then we don't buy it.

First time I drove a Miata in 1990 I laughed at how fun it was. Yeah, it was kind of a chick-car but it had the same leather smell of my dad's '67 Healey, sounded like a '60s Brit sports car, and was a hoot to toss through the curves--and how many Miatas have been sold in the past 15+ years? Millions?

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

I agree they are trying, but if they want to call it the "new dodge demon" make it a little more recognizable to the old Demon or give it a different name...IMHO....

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Not getting on Chrysler for trying TJ, the car is just not appealing to me. I appreciate very much that young kids are attracted to ricers. They are cheap, well supported, good performing, highly alterable, hmmm https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif sounds like the same argument for 60s/70s muscle. Good on them for carving out a niche. They are having fun.

As mentioned before, Chrysler seems to be on the right track with the Challenger. IMHO, they missed the mark with the Demon. Looks are standard/indistinguishable and don't capture the essence of the original one....

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Just ask Darren....he`s very familiar with what the back of a Demon/Duster looks like. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Dan.

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

You're not gonna sit there and take that from Dan are ya Darren? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Bring it to Collinsville Mopar Dan. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

Darren,

Collinsville is not the place to bring the Duster....among all the Super Cars....but if your looking for a local rematch, just name the time and place. I`ll be there....or better yet lets audition for the show "Pinks" winner gets the ride. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I`ve always wanted a Blue L78 Camaro. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Dan.

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

guys guys c'mon.......we can have our own "PINKS" show when the grove or byron opens
and darren, i have just the motor you need to take care of that mopar thing. we'll just do a little motor swap.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

sorry dan

Re: New Dodge Demon
 

That`s O.K. Jeff.....he`ll need all the help he can get....an engine swap would be the only way he could beat the little Duster https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Dan.
