The new Dodge coming out to replace it.. Is going to kick the Neons ***..

AWD is an option on them, and he cant wait to show off what the next SRT-4 is going to be =P Thats for me to know and ya'll to be jealous about

about the new SRT-4...somewhat true...it won't be based off the Neon replacement tho...that thing called the Caliber. That's going to be like the Pontiac Vibe. </font>[/QUOTE]*buzzer* WRONG. The Caliber IS the Neon replacement. And the SRT-4 is going to be the Caliber SRT-4... And it IS on the Evo platform. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]umm...the Caliber is just a new vehicle as the SRT was phased out. That's like saying the SSR was the Camaro replacement when in fact, it's a totally different vehicle. The Caliber is to market people that like other vehicles like the Pontiac Vibe.

SRT-4's direction has yet to be determined but it will return...just not in a Neon

I for one have SEEN a Dodge Caliber.. And it IS going to be the base for the next SRT-4 -- the Caliber being on the Evo/Lancer platform is just hinting at what its capabilities are, its just NOT going to be out within its first year or two of production. Give it time, like the SVT Cobra when the platform changes over theres a delay.


by the way, they already have a "sport-ute-hatchback-pos", its still on the Neon platform, called the PT Cruiser.

They are using the same chassis and 2.4 liter as the Mitsu Lancer and with AWD optional they also plan on using the Evo for their SRT Model. I was bored and looked up some stuff about it.

"The Dodge and Mitsuibshi versions will have unique interiors and exteriors and different suspension tuning when sold in the same market. The EVO will have a Dodge version, with extensive Chrysler involvement in engineering in the two door version. The four door will be primarily worked on by Mitsubishi engineers, though members of the Neon ACR team are helping them, thanks to their strong rally and SCCA success. (The Neon traces its pedigree back to the Shelby Dodges, partly through John Fernandez). Mitsubishi has been a strong rally car and their engineers are no slouches. We're not exactly sure, though, why Dodge and MMC have switched places - the Stratus/Sebring/Avenger coupes were pretty pure Mitsubishi."
