They said at the event the car was NOT going into production. They also said the designer was no longer employed by DC. The implication was but no said directelt that he was fired. True or not I don't know its just what I heard form the DC folks in attendance.

I believe it said that they were going forward and should have the limited production units out in three years. There were some pretty good photos and reviews, but they did say because of some transmission problems, they had it governed down so not to tear it up during the test drives. ------------------ 2001 Mulholland Edition Prowler and Trailer 2004 Ford F-150 FX-4
YellowFever unregistered Posts: 3855 From: Caldwell, Texas United States Registered: JUL 2002	posted 10-25-2004 03:15 PM Reread that Automobile article. They said they are still considering it but, no pricing or timeline. I suspect, if they even build it, they will wait and see how the Ford GT does after the initial hoopla is over. Paying $200K for a vehicle that shares do-dad parts with the same bin as say a Focus is not exactly an real exotic and most exotic buyers want something that is, well, exotic and unique down to the last nut and bolt.
CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-25-2004 10:05 PM The lead guy (but not designer) was Wolfgang Bernhard who eventually left DC and is now on the board of management for Volkswagen. It's likely that when his non-compete runs out, he will run VW. The car was built in secrecy and although Dieter Zetsche was involved, it was kept from Juergen Shrempp.
