Default Rendering of New Neon

Can someone translate what it basicly says?

Here's my guess of what its saying:
"in a futile attempt at selling Neons, Chrysler made it even uglier and is offering 3 versions. the top one, which looks like every other dodge recently, has a deisel. the 2nd one is better looking. the 3rd one is a convertible with about 230hp turbo'd engine. will probably fall apart when you turn a corner, though, so be careful using the power"

of course, i have no clue what it really says, but if its anything like the old Neons, this shoudl hold somewhat true

I actually like the new look of Dodge cars, although I can only guess how the new Dodge Neon sedan (top) will look in real life.
The middle picture shows an SUV made on its floor pan while the bottom one shows a roadster on the same chassis. The Neon will come out in 2006 or 2007, the SUV in the end of 2007. The roadster will have 2.4l turbo-charged engine with 235hp. Neon wil also have a sporty version, called SRT-5.
Engine line for Europe will include 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4l petrol engines and also diesel engines. All 3 cars will be available in Europe.
Personally, I think that both the SUV and roadster have a clear Japanese look. Especially the roadster, that look like enlarged Daihatsu. No, wait, headlamps of the SUV look similar to those of Cayenne...

roadster looks interesting, it would be hella fun if it were RWD... as for the other 2, can they really fit those bodies on a neon platform?? That has me worried...

I could translate the gist of it, but to be honest I would probably get some of it wrong so I will defer to one of the german speakers on here! Germans Fawlty?
