For one point, identify the year, make, and two-word model of this car.

For a second point, identify the car it is based upon, and the name of the color it is painted.

2009 Dodge Circut EV, based off the Lotus Europa, the color is either Vitamin C or Hemi Orange, but more likely Hemi Orange because Vitamin C was a Plymouth color.

Mostly correct.  Locked for 12 hours so you can finish.

Circut?

Try again on the color.  It's "eco-friendly"

1 point to pftnbr for naming the year, make, and model.  Included the name of the base car, couldn't provide the color within 12 hours.

Unlocked.

Earn a point by telling me the eco-friendly name of this paint color

Up to the experts.  I guess the Rookies are all asleep.

For one point, specify the color of this car, as stated by Dodge.  It contains the letter "g", in spite of what some web sites might say.

Thanks, Geology.  I was wondering if it would ever be answered.

The heading calls it "TangoGreen" but geology's answer said "Tangoreen", which I assumed was a play on "Tangerine"?  Which is right?

The internet describes the car as both Tangoreen and Tangogreen.  I really think it should be TangoGreen.  If you trying to make an orange color be enviro-friendly, wouldn't you put the word "green" in it?  

This puzzle has been all about missing letters.  Nobody ever typed "Circuit", it was "Circut".  And now "Tangoreen" was answered, when my answer is "TangoGreen".  I awarded the point anyway, was tired of waiting.
