Review: They will not be able to market & sell 25-50 cars the first year, or total.
From a production standpoint, it will be nearly impossible without using off the shelf parts. Then It will no longer be a handmade luxury car, Like the original. No dealer network, like other high end manufaturers. It may make a neat kit car:)
The CEM engine is the most viable part of this. Eddie Paul is a smart guy, and can get this off the ground.

Review: It is noble of them to attempt to revive such an exceptional name from the past. While it is inevitable that there will be disagreements from many on the styling of the next generation Duece, I think it is more important that the craftsmen pay special attention to the fact that Duesenberg was such a revered name due to its exceptional quality, engineering and safety, much like Honda today, but far more luxurious. Why this company has associated itself with a moldy old company like Mercedes is beyond me. Their last 10 years of quality control make me hope that the Duece engineers take the motors apart and rebuild them carefully themselves.

Review: A Duesenberg in the 21st century. Who could have imagined this? I hope the concept will work and not throw a shadow of shame over those glorious cars we know as Duesenbergs. But there is one thing i have to say because i am from Germany. Those fabulous cars you call American automotive icons were built by two immigrants from Germany. Hope you don't forget that ;-) Still like American cars though.. :-)

Review: I sincerely hope this attempt to revive a glorious brand is successful. In this day and age America could really use this to put them back on the map of true world-class cars. Even so...
Doesn't it seem ironic that they want to sell these fuel-efficient engines to the ONE social class that couldn't care less about fuel economy? Especially when it doesn't make even the tiniest dent in pollution levels. In my opinion it'd make far more sense to put such an engine into higher volume cars where it'd actually make a difference. I guess production costs will be sky-high at first. Hopefully the costs will come down and we'll see this technology trickle down into the hands of us common folk.

Review: Wow, a real Duzzie in my life time! Excellent!
Bring it on, please. And could you please introduce us narrow minded a
Americans to the power and torque and, oh yeah, the economy of diesel? Yes, this would be really fine, just take the time to do it right and only build as many as you can sell, or pre-sell.
Well, anyway, build it and they will come.

Review: How disappointing not to see the real 1930's Duesenburg roadster come back, but just another boring fast-back car.

Review: The CEM engine sounds promising. Why not put it into a small car for the less wealthy? They would sell well and save on energy as well. A good looking small, fuel efficent car is just what this country needs. We already have too many foreign cars, give them some real competion.
