Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

Most of you know that the first neons came out in 1994. They are not much to look at and didn't even perform well. Then came the SRT-4, The fastest production car under 30,000 dollars. And stops faster from 80-0 then a 911. the SRT-4 line dropped.

fast forward to
2007.... Caliber.

The 2007 Caliber takes the place of the neon. Yes, There will be an SRT model.
Most of you by now think heh WEAK!.... but here me out. It will have the same A855 2.4l DOHC engine putting out over 235 hp. And now you say that she won't be able to get traction. WRONG. it will have AWD. Maybe now I can run with some of ya DSMer's out of the hole. :D

oh.... the caliber is a hatchback and is very ugly.

Oh yeah, many of us on this site care for the info. Thanks!

Is it a SUV now or just a really big four-door?

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

I wouldn't call it sporty, but I don't find it offensive. I think its kinda coo.

Picture it with a front mount in the lower bumper and 4 drag radials aired down to about 13 psi.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

If that is it above, then it looks like a wagon to me. Wagon, the Mini-van of the 70s.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

Maybe a wagon bred with some kind of small dinosaur.

bleh lookin

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

it's curb weight is going to be north of 3500
so do not expect anything past a high 14 stock.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

The Evo RS is under 30,000. so i guess the claim is sorta void isn't it? ooooOOOOO

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

you showed him johnny!!

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

So let me get this straight.. It's an SUV/Mini Van thing? No.. Alec.. Come on now...

Why is everyone complaining about it being ugly... 1g's are ugly.. and don't even try to say they aren't.. I know a lot of DSMers who admitt it!

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

I would have to say my 1G is one of the best looking vehicles I have seen, and I see a lot of vehicles. These newer SUV/Van hybrids are turning out ugly as shit. Nissan Murano, Subaru B9, Chevy HHR, etc.. They all look like pure ass. Some of these vehicles are starting to look like we thought things would look like in the future. Too kiddie space age like. The 1G body is simple, functional and looks great.

New car designers are just getting really out of hand with these stupid designs.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

I understand what you are saying about how damn ugly cars are getting... XB?! That vehicle makes me think who ever designs cars for Scion was really LAZY... I think 1g's are not the ugliest car around, but deffinately not the nicest. However, I have seen a lot of really nice 1g's.. That's just my own personal opinion.

But I do think this vehicle is extremely ugly. It looks like they took the durango, shifted some shit around, thru in some horse power, and called it a day.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

dude. it looks like they chopped a magnum in half. wtf. that thing is fugly. not just ugly.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

You must have meant under $20k, until they raised the MSRP the 2nd year in production :)

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

How do we have a neon leg humper on this site?
That new car is a P.O.S. Don't ever think that anything new could be cool. Car companys are dumb as hell and Americans keep buying their retarded shit. It just gets worse each year.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

^^ which doesn't really matter in the end, since sales is what they are after, right?

I don't think it looks very good either, but it is going in the direction that dodge seems to be leaning when it comes to their future image. Slightly more european/refined - and the caliber seems to fill that role well. At least, it does compared to the neon.

And Tauni, wouldn't it be a Durango with some horsepower taken out? ;)

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

I guess it depends on what dealer you go to cause where i went, they wanted 31,000$ for an RS Evo.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?
 

Fastest production car for under $30,000? This is a Neon. $30,000. Neon. $30,000. Neon. Am I the only person that get's it?
