Well written comment.....

I would SERIOUSLY consider the SRT-4 version if it were not for the need to haul fire wood and other needed items to my upcoming place of residence. Times and needs change for everybody, what's true today won't be true tomorrow.......that's a promise!!!!!!

. Who'd want a car thats useless outside of the dragstrip?
Newer race cars are diesels. They've got horrible acceleration compared to others, but the fact that they are racing and winning them...

Why are the diseals winning?

Becuse they last longer with fuel. Alot of the Diesel cars your taking about are Enduro cars...Such as Audi's and Panoz

there 1 million dollar cars. They are not REAL cars... And your going even more off-topic

So...Back on topic

I agree the Caliber is better. But the SE is underpowered...i mean if you got the 300hp SRT-4 then you got something even the RT is sufficent

Why not put the old 2.5 into the SE? or 2.7 from the base Intrepid?

Now if Dodge kept the Neon name on the car...I would agree. But since the Caliber really isn't a Neon, I disagree. At least the Caliber has 300HP and power rear windows.

This could go back and forth forever! But when you think about it, who could ever be right or wrong? Topics like this are really subject to nothing but personal taste. So some people like it, and some don't. Well, nobody's getting forced to buy anything they don't like, so why make it a big deal? Without a doubt though, give your opinion and make yourself heard. I mean, it's everyone's right, and there's bound to be someone else who feels the same way you do. But when you think about it, isn't that what this is really all about, the way a design makes you feel? Definitions out the window, that's what it comes down to.
