Default Omni GLH revival


Hi everyone. This is my first post on dodgeforum.com. We all remember the Omni GLH from the '80s I'm sure. I have been thinking about a new one for some time now. Ford and various import auto makers have hatchback and coupe variants of their small cars, so why can't Dodge? Last night I modified a picture of the current SRT4 into a 3 door hot hatch. With the SRT4s performance in mind, wouldn't this car be so fun?

That's an interesting idea. It would be a cool little car, just as it was back in the late 80's. I had a chance to drive one last week and absolutely loved it.

Interesting idea. Looks somewhat like a PT Cruiser with an extreme makeover nose job. Very nice!

The only problem I see is that it wouldn't be as much of a sleepr as the GLH was in the 80s. The GLH sent a lot of unsuspecting V-8 guys packing with their tail between their legs.

I remember the Shelby turbo intercooled version. I used to own the Shelby charger turbo I and left alot of the V8's in my rear view mirror.

Nice job on the chopping there Chryco, but I'm not a big fan of it. I just really am not a big hatchback person. I think the car would sell quite well, but I think since you've had the Pontiac LeMans Hatchback, the Ford Focus, and also the Caliber coming out that's basically a 5dr hatch.... I dont know that this would work.

Its a great idea, and that's great work...Dodge has done crazier/stupider things then this...so we'll see!
