And nothing could possibly get its rider noticed more than the Tomahawk. It's absolutely gorgeous, in an industrial art meets sci-fi flick sort of way. Its artisanship nears perfection and attention to detail puts to shame any production motorbike, proving just what Chrysler Group's design and engineering team is capable of when budget constraints are loosened.

Will Dodge build it? They'd be crazy to do so considering today's lawsuit happy world. Some crash helmet makers have even considered getting out of their main line of business because of inanely concocted lawsuits stipulating fault of manufacture when Johnny's helmet couldn't withstand a 100 mile-an-hour impact into a light pole.

But build it or not, Dodge has given us an unexpected yet much appreciated peak at creative design and engineering genius gone wild. It's more than a bold statement of the Ram brand, but typifies the automaker's no hold's barred attitude to product. From its in-your-face pickups to the testosterone overload Durango and Magnum concept vehicles, both expected to be hardly changed when they go into production next year, Dodge is carving a unique and welcome niche among its mostly faceless competitors.
