i hope to GOD that that crapcake they call the caliber isnt the replacment, plzplzplz god nooooooooooooooooo

 

The Neon SRT-4 after its demise in 2005, will be replaced w/ two new models. SRT-4 versions of the Cailber Wagon (shown above) and Rebel Sedan (Caliber's Sedan sibling) will indeed have SRT-4 name badges added to them. They will feature another version of the 2.4L "TURBOCHARGED" inline four cylinder off of the new engine lineup that Chrysler Group is building for themselves as well as many other other companies. Power from the new engine should equal that of the current SRT-4 or be slightly higher. Don't be suprised to see the rims on the Caliber Concept reach the Caliber SRT-4 model.

I just don't like that, it reminds me too much of a focus.

 

WTF? They're wasting they're time making a hatch-back into an SRT... Magnum, sure, but Caliber? Waste of time. They'll be losing profit on this one...

 

so sick of seeing 5 door mini-suv's, they just keep getting uglier by the second... plus the mileage isnt going up on these, only down nothing like pushing a brick down the road. I guess I will be buying an '05 srt-4 before they dissappear.

 

The only thing I don't get about this vehicle is that it is so beefy. My Neon is sleek and sexy. I just don't get it.

I trust that there will be a coupe and sedan of this car. I also trust that the Charger will have a coupe too. JUST WAIT PEOPLE. HAVE PATIENTS, GAWD!

I actually spoke with a represenative of Dodge and he said the Caliber is STILL a concept and IS NOT official, it's probable but not official

 

Does anybody know if they are still going to make an evo version? The link below talks about an evo version of the neon replacement.

Well allpar.com said that Dodge will get it's own Mitsubishi Evo (different name of course). Maybe this Rebel SRT-4 will be it?

 

Dont worry
there will probably be More than one SRT-4 for dodge
just like more than one SRT-8

 

No, it's not. The SRT-4 will continue in 06. It will be built off the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X platform and will use the new turbocharged 2.4 liter world engine being developed by Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai. It might be available in a coupe as well as a sedan. ( of course I could be wrong)

Why would Chrysler drop something they just put out two years ago and entered it in competition racing? Too much money involved in something like that. It doesn't make sense that Chrysler would get rid of the SRT-4 after putting all that time, money, and effort into it. Why discontinue it if sales for SRT-4 haven't been to bad? You kinda have to ask yourself, "Why would they do that after all this?"
