looks like a crossbreed of the Crossfire, new Eclipse and the old Copperhead Concept. Dodge/Chrysler need some sort of 2 door 4 banger to equal out all the HEMI's they are packin' into everything now. I would think their MPG averages must have sunk way down below what they need to be with all the gas-hogs they have.

I like it, but I wouldnt buy one...

 

Well good news on the POLO...Looks like VDUB will be making a GTI version 150 HP polo...Being that there are many GTI models in the US i can see the POLO getting the same opt.

 

ACCORDING to this source Razor didnt happen for 06 b/c of the Razor nameplate...in otherwords Razor Scooter Co. Would expect some Hefty Royalties out of it NAME...Lame but I could see why they would have delayed its production if not indefinately.

HERS THE SCOOP:
Though it paid to use it on a concept vehicle, Chrysler backed away from calling a whole model line Razor, a name another firm owns. Finding an apt name is a lengthy ordeal for carmakers. Automakers have learned to steer clear of legal snags, hidden meanings and matters of taste.
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group knows all too well the legal and financial obstacles that can thwart the search for a cutting-edge car name.

Early this month, the Auburn Hills automaker had a clear front-runner in the moniker sweepstakes for the vehicle to replace its Dodge Neon compact sedan in 2006 -- the Dodge Razor. But when Razor USA, a Cerritos, Calif.-based seller of foot-propelled scooters and mini street motorcycles, told Chrysler it would have to pay royally to use the Razor name, the nation's No. 3 automaker cooled on the idea. "If they want to play that way, then we'll walk away," said Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines. "There are a kajillion other names out there."

The process of naming a vehicle is torturous but critical to a vehicle's success. Automakers must choose a name that evokes an image that will help boost sales, while making sure it is not offensive in any language and that it is actually available.

"You have to try to get a name that fits with the way you want to position the product," said Craig Bierley, product director at General Motors Corp's GMC division. "You look at whether it's rugged or tough, or whether or not it's sophisticated."

Automakers have to go to great lengths to ensure that an ill-chosen name doesn't wreck a vehicle's chances before it ever gets started. (DETROIT NEWS)

 

Heres a good name....call it the Blade! But I just thought of something. I wonder how much motorola had to pay for the "Razor" name?

 

Yeah, Razor does sound kind of wimpy now that you bring up the scooter thing. Razor scooters suck. 2 for Blade

I cant go for either the Razor or Blade...the car is too rounded and doesnt really strike me as a name like that....

I'd actually be more inclined to name this car the Avenger....rather then killing off the Dodge Stratus....

 

Who wouldn't want a car named after a bada$$ vampire movie with Wesley Snipes? What Dodge should really do is scrap the Razor project, and bring back the Dodge Stealth.

Probably nothing, considering it's a phone, not a vehicle. Plus, Motorola's phone is called the RAZR with no O.



A razor blade or sword blade is thin, sleek and small. The Dodge Razor concept is fat, rounded and wide.

More appropriate names would be: Dodge Toad, Dodge Frog, Dodge 350Z and Dodge Blob...

 

I dont care what anyone says wether they like it or not...but do you think it will be better for Dodge's future? I mean for what it is I would buy it in a heartbeat. A coupe w/ performance of an SRT-4...maybe our photoshoppers should alter some things especially color.

 

Well If ya wanted to head into another direction, it could be called the *******. Though somehow it has a good ring, kinda. The Dodge *******.

Though really it isnt that bad og a looking car, but seems more european really, nothing American.
