That car is based on the SMART Roadster, I think. With Chrysler ME 4 12, it seems like the DaimlerChrysler group is finally starting to share globally. With all this parts sharing, i wonder how long brand identity will last into the near future.
Anywho, check out www.autoextremist.com for their informative and opionated Detroit Auto Show review. Of recent I've become a fan of the site.

If a car looks as sporty as that concept (Slingshot?), it needs to be a lot quicker than 10sec from 0-62mph. As long as GM is buying engines from Honda and Toyota for Saturn and Pontiac, respectively, they should buy a Honda 1.6L VTEC for this car. The gas mileage would still be good, and it would be faster.

You're right, though... the car is nice but the engine should be better.
