This actually could be good news, as originally there had been rumors that Chrysler would ax the Viper. So now we have this news that the Viper could survive--if some other company would be interested in buying it; and of course, if the price is right to both parties. Let's hope that's the case.
In a perfect world, the Viper would remain a Chrysler product. In a slightly less perfect world, it would be bought by an American company (perhaps Shelby?). If push-comes-to-shove, I think most gearheads would prefer to see the Viper continue--even if it's owned by some huge Mid-East, Indian or other foreign conglomerate--than to have it go down the tubes.

It would be cool if they were bought by a racing team, like Aston Martin was.
I hope that someone who buys Viper really cares for that brand. Say what you like about cheap interiors, awkwardly leg burning exhausts, etc - there are few cars that turn as many heads. The Ford GT may be the only American car to turn more heads.
