Possible Mopar Concept found, looking for ID help/ideas

I'm coming to yall from shoforum.com , I'm a Ford enthusiast and this topic has been growing interest on our SHO boards. It's driving me nuts that we can't ID it, so I've come to yall in search of answers. This topic has been posted on several other Ford enthusiast sites and a hotrodding site as well (hotrodders know everything!). So far, other boards haven't revealed anything we SHO folks haven't already discussed, so here I am...

In reference to the badge on the side rocker molding...

My opinion? Some kind of Eagle hybrid concept based on the Vision with influence from the Portofino. Those look to be Intrepid headlights. The taillights are long and thin with reverse lights in the middle like '93-97 Intrepids (though I know these tails look nothing like any Intrepid's).

Anyone got any insight?

All kinds of ideas have been thrown about... Sunfire/Cavalier lovechild, Reatta/Sunfire lovechild, Some kind of Buick concept, 4-door Stealth concept, some Portofino related, Pontiac Banshee concept, and there's a few more thoughts.

the eagle optima, was a 1990 concept car by the Eagle division of the Chrysler Corporation. It was a four-door sedan that used cab forward design. It was one of a series of concepts (which included the 1987 Lamborghini Portofino and the 1989 Chrysler Millennium) that lead up to the 1993 LH Eagle Vision and its siblings. The Optima's front fascia also inspired that of the 1995-1998 Eagle Talon....
