ive heard rumors that after the srt4 goes out (05) dodge will make an awd sport compact t replace it, im not sure if its true but i sre as hell hope it is!

 

Very true unfortunately The SRT-4 will end in 2005 and will be replaced possibly with the Dodge Caliber. I hope to god not though...

THE CALIBER ISN'T THE REPLACEMENT!!!! stop thinking that. all of you. i can guarantee you that it is not the replacement. now stop whining and get really for w/e they show the real neon replacement.

 

I said the same thing about the Charger Concept Art yet, look at the new Charger we have now.

 

are you referring to the popular hot rodding crap. we got a great car instead of that drawing. lucky us. now the caliber has been released, but i think it is a addition to the line up instead of the neon replacement. intrepid is replaced with the charger, plus a wagon(magnum). what makes you think they wont do a mini-version of that. the first thing we saw to replace the intrepid was the magnum(wagon). then later they throw a replacement sedan in. I'm thinking they are doing the same thing for the neon, by starting with the caliber.

 

I never said it WAS the replacement, but POSSIBLY What car would take it then Nick? They wouldn't just poop out a new vehicle within the year. Surely something has been leaked and is on Df... the caliber? Or they may just end the SRT-4 and not replace it...

I've heard in multiple places that the Caliber IS the replacement for the Neon, though I have not heard either way if it will be like you said with the Intrepid and wether there will be a second car to come along to replace the Neon. All I know is, I hope Dodge does come around with something MUCH better than the Caliber to be a Neon replacement.

 

OK this is what i am basing it on. last year at the Pontiac silver dome, they showed employees the new cars to be showed/released in the next year. my dad attended that, being a supervisor. i guess they had the real neon replacement there, along with the stratus sebring replacements there. i have not seen or heard any more information other then that they were there. when i asked my dad whether the caliber was the neon replacement, he said no, there was another car there that was supposed to be the replacement. and as far as i am concerned, i think this is the neon replacement: http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/rebel.html

 

That car is the Caliber, just with a different name. The concepts the Bob posted don't look similair though...

I guess we will all have to wait till the mini-viper comes out, or maybe it won't.
