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.
another one of these types of threads

numbers never tell me how fun a car feels and drives

Heavy, high center of gravity, no mechanical limited slip, disappointing performance numbers so far especially compared to a mazdaspeed 3.

Til it comes out, it's all speculation, but on paper it looks like the neon SRT-4 is a much better performer.

And the new "World Engine" was codeveloped by DC, Mitsu, and Hyundai. Not sure I want something with a Hyundai badge on it.
