Dodge Caliber.....booo!

RE: Dodge Caliber.....booo!
Hi There ...
Dustyloins, You are absolutely right! I mentioned before, to really admire and appreciate the Dodge Caliber, you have to see it in person. It’s just not the same in pictures. I found with experience, that it’s sportier in person then viewing pictures.
And with all these creative features it holds, I feel this vehicle is definitely hard to pass up!
musclecarneon … I’m just curious, have you seen the Dodge Caliber in person?

Hey Kelly S,
The SRT-4 should have AWD as an option. I would gladly pay $2,000-$4,000 for an American made product that can whip on the WRX and EVO. Without AWD it is just a pretender, 300 hp and FWD, coming out of a tight corner, will be spanked by the AND imports.
While DCX went for all out performance (best in class, the TOP of the class) with all of the SRT-8's, and the SRT-10's (Viper has ruled for 13 years, until the Z06 this year), why did they decide to go after Ions, Cobalts, Civics, Matrix's, etc. instead of the top class getters of the EVO and WRX?
I know there were mules, did they not perform well enough to after the AWD turbo imports?

Well I think as pointed out before, Chrysler may not have an AWD system that will hold up to 300HP/267 lb ft torque and not break. So if this is true, they'd have to develop a high performance version of AWD to work with the Caliber SRT-4, and probably the other SRT models. Maybe they're already in the process of doing this, who knows!

Like I said, there were mules and the components were developed. The issue is they were prototyped and they do not seem want to want to outsorce these parts, only use the parts bin. Is it too small of a batch run? Still, I would pay the extra, it is worth it to me.

I was thinking about it, the parts were probably sorced from the AWD 300/Mercedes parts bin. I don't know, maybe there was an issue with room. I have just been looking for a reasonable reason. Cost? It would still be less than the EVO or WRX. So my thought is that it still couldn't keep up with the imports.
