the P5 on "roids".....

If you think that looks like a Protege5, then you surely must think that the protege5 is just a rip off of one of the most awesome cars evAR!

The AMC Eagle!

 

[Pro5Monkey]

No, the Subaru Outback is a rip-off of the AMC Eagle. So, that would make the Pro5 a rip-off of the Subaru Outback sans the AWD

i mean i see how the tail end of the car slightly resembles a P5 but the rest of the car doesnt.

 

[Pro5Monkey]

Geez, Maybe I should have call the thread "Dodge's interpretation of the Pro5"

 

[NeverSober]

ugly

 

[Sveivo]

I wouldn't buy it, the P5's are way cooler cars.

Good info though

That thing has no potential of being a ricer. Not literally, for course

 

[Junior]

cause it says dodge... forget about it... I would pick the P5 over that

P5>Caliber

sorry (outie)

 

[MP5s Make Ready]

Looks more like a mazda 3 to me

 

[snooky]

Guys this car has nothing compared to the P5, I'd take a P5 over this car anyday!

 

[snooky]

it looks more lik ethe nissam morano to me anyways!

Doesn't look like a P5 at all.

Remember when Hyundai started selling the "Sti" style hood scoop and rear wing, they asked the head of Subaru North America if they were afraid of mistaken identity, he replied "No, I don't think so, for one - our car is fast."

That being said, if this car is the replacement for the Neon, you know it'll kick the crap out of any P5.

SRT4>all

if it is replacing the neon it might own in a straight line...they will never master the turns

 

[ProFiver]

the Kia Spectre5 is complete ripoff of the P5.

the fogs and rear lights look just like a pro5
they even put in a body kit and built-in subwoofer.

 

[BlueWolfCry]

^^ what i was going to say ^^

 

[msubullyfan]

Yeah, bash it now. But, when they come out with a supercharged SRT version of it, people will be lined up to buy one.

(I hate the grille, BTW)

 

[KpaBap]

its just a dodge it will still fall apart in 50k miles

Dodge is just playing catch-up maybe it's ketchup...haha. Let's give Dodge some credit though, they recognize a good thing when they seen it. Although, it is still 5 years to late. Oh well. Try this Dodge...(shocked)
