Default Dodge power?

What do you guys think of the new Caliber SRT-4 coming out. I understand there's probably not alot of you guys that like Dodge, but you must admit they are making some serious performance machines. Honda should smarten up, and get there head out of there a$$. 285 hp and loads of torque. for only 24,995. WOW. The S2000 is becoming more and more of a who cares about an S2000, car. They need to do something at Honda. We used to be known as the most powerful engine per liter. Not anymore. Dam you Honda.

Some things can never be forgiven. The K-Car is one of them. I will never, ever, ever buy a dodge or chrysler product, ever. They could be the first out with flying cars, and I wouldn't even look at them.

Ofcourse they'd probably break down at altitude...sorry for the tangent.

No problem all I want is to hear responses. Positive and negative. To be honest I am thinking of selling the S, just for the reason I am the kind of guy who cares bored of a car after a few years and need a change. Any suggestions, I want to stay around the $30,000 area.

wait for the Dodge Demon...

I also read a magazine at barne and nobles the other day... That Toyota making a new sport car coming soon... it looks to me like a new design of a celica. They say they are making something similiar to the AE86 to be around 20 grand and probably put on a Scion badge. I mean it looks like a redesign celica, but they say to be like performance wise to the AE86 that everyone love about...

sorry no pics, because my camera phone suck..

New or Used? Another sports car?
Evo/STI
RX8,Miata
350Z.
Solistice/Skyline

Plenty of fun options. But if you really want the HP, the Evo is a great choice.

that toyota was actually a good looking car in the artist renderings. powered by a 1.8L, body was about the size of the tc, but RWD! And it looked much more proper than a TC, didn't have that strange rear end and hind quarters. The RWD system will be coming from subaru's parts bin and given it's low initial purchase the car should become quite popular and I would imagine the aftermarket would take off quickly. If they build it.

The only problem is they don't sell EVO's here in Canada. I won't be buying new.
