Hubby and I saw a car earlier today that I recognize from several years ago. He swears it’s a roadster, but I disagree. IIRC, it came out about the same time that the Dodge Viper did. It is two door, very long and low to the ground, with the front wheels far out in front of the driver. The front bumper is two pieces, and doesn’t appear to have any “car” behind it, just air. I believe it only came in purple when it first came out, thought I may be remembering that wrong. Any ideas? ---

That would be the Plymouth [Prowler](http://www.km77.com/marcas/chrysler/prototipos/gran/Plymouth%20Prowler%20(1993).jpg) ---

Sounds like the Plymouth Prowler. ---

I knew I could count on you guys 😃 That is indeed it. Is it still in production? ---

Chrysler started phasing out Plymouth in 2001, folks at Daimler-Chrysler said the line was too pedestrian and didn’t fit with their new corporate image. Yet they still make Dodge trucks and Jeeps. Go figure. ---

Yet they still make Dodge trucks and Jeeps. Go figure. Prediction: The Daimler/Chrysler marriage will end in a horrible divorce in the next 5-7 years.
