quality of the trim, but also in its simple, industrial yet sophisticated style. The three-pod gauge cluster is backlit in white with red dials and that previously mentioned metallic centre stack plays host to a DVD-based navigation system with a seven-inch LED screen. The pedals are brushed aluminum, plus the satin silver can even be found door handles and speakers, while the seats are black leather with bright red inserts. All the elements combine with technical precision to give the interior its modern, but rugged appearance.

Dodge seems to have two winning designs on its hands and all that remains to be seen is how closely the production models will follow these two brilliant concepts. After watching Dodge come up big with its latest Charger and Magnum, I expect no less of their smaller brothers.
