There's also an interview about it with some of the SRT guys here: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/a...the-caliber-s/

I still can't figure out why they skimped out and didn't give it an LSD...

If I didn't have to contend withliving in Bum F**K Egyptin a few months, as well as the need to haul 5 gallon jerry cans of gas and kerosene, that would be a car I'd consider. I'm already used to the launching quirks of the Neon SRT-4, and these don't seem all that different. It would have been nice to have a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain, though.......

Huge disappointment IMO. I'm not a huge fan of Skittle's, but I give them their props. This new Caliber, on the other hand.......[>:]

Arent SRT vehicles exempt from the warranty as well as Diesels?
