...and Chrysler's plug-in hybrid?

It looks like a Hot Wheel to me if this is what the final product looks like.

It's a car day, isn't it? All sorts of interesting vehicles around.

Of the Big 3, I've felt that Chrysler has produced the most visually intriguing cars for a long time. Some I like, some I don't, but I at least look at them.

This particular one is pretty funky. It doesn't do much for me, but it is visually intriguing.

That one definitely looks different. I'd want to see what it looks like on the road (or the lot) to see whether I really like it or not, but it has potential.

The range on these next-generation electric cars is useless! 40 miles? I've yet to be impressed with any of these offerings.

Apparently that's NOT what the final product looks like; the picture is a completely different concept model, also from Chrysler. Are they not showing a picture of the subject of the article because of this secrecy thing they're implying? Surely there must be a picture around somewhere.

If I were contemplating the car in the picture, I would want to give careful consideration to crumple zones and safety numbers for head-on collisions. Airbags can't do everything.
