[quote=Road and Track][SRT] will turn its attention to the upcoming launch of the Dodge Caliber replacement for the Neon, which is none too soon, given that the SRT-4 version of the departed sedan has a loyal following. SRT is looking to keep the street cred it developed with the SRT-4 by building a turbocharged version of the Caliber hatch, as shown by this disguised test mule (Hecubus's note - it's got the typical prototype camoflague over what is distinctively a Caliber. It's got different wheels, a different front bumper, and appears to have a hood scoop). Look for the SRT Caliber to offer 235hp with the added bonus of all-wheel drive. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru WRX owners should be checking their rearview mirrors sometime in late summer.[/quote]
I'm looking forward to this. I'm sure it'll still be relatively unrefined, but it'll be easy for it to be less crude than the SRT-4. With the whole AWD and 235hp thing, it's definitely got the base WRX in it's aim (and inevitably Mopar will provide the parts to help move it a little closer to the Evo and STI). As long as it'll cost right around $30k (Canadian dollars), I'm happy.

Oh, and I can't help but wonder (since, IIRC, the Caliber is going to be offered in Europe), if DC is planning on fielding it in WRC (AWD, turbo four - although this one should be a 2.4, they'll have a 2.0 available - it seems likely to me).

This is the Dodge Caliber, best described as a Mini Magnum.

I think you'd be better off buying an Atom.

bashderq · Post by **bashderq** » 10 Nov 2005, 01:38

This car is a bit old now, but it's also a F1 wana be, and apparently street legal. Developed in New Zealand

I thought that was a Go-Kart at first. That would be tight, though, a F! Go-Kart.

Renault and its 2914th utterly-useless-tiny-horrendous car:

IMO Renault has released a lot of models. I think that the new Clio, Modus and Twingo2 are about the same: a cheap and little car for grandmas. So 2 of them are useless.

euronsu · Post by **euronsu** » 10 Nov 2005, 21:08

I live in the US and i don't get to see many renaults, in fact i've seen only two

Post by **Pabl0z** » 10 Nov 2005, 21:31

And i live in Finland and we see lots of Renaults but not much American cars.
We like fuel efficient driving you know?

euronsu · Post by **euronsu** » 10 Nov 2005, 23:37

yes, I know Plabl0z, but we like power. I personally drive a european car and i love it. (just look at username euronsu)

Most of them look alot like the current Ferrari's. And some look very futuristic.

I hate to have to do this but I quoted your post from the other topic because it got locked. I think its funny that the C6R is pushing close to 600hp because Corvette C6R vs SLR Mclaren cya merc.
