From Autoweek > Caliber SRT4, which replaces the Neon-based SRT4 sold from 2003 to 2005, launches the company’s performance small-car formula to a new high. Under the hood (and functional hood scoop to direct cooling air into the engine bay), SRT4 features the first application of a turbocharged version of Chrysler’s global 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 300 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It makes 70 more ponies than the 2005 SRT4 (and 85 more than the first 2003 model). Power runs to the 19-inch front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transaxle. > Brakes are borrowed from Chrysler’s big cars like the 300C, with 13.3-inch vented front discs with dual-piston calipers and 11.8-inch single-piston rears. Suspension is lowered about one-half inch compared to a stock Caliber. > SRT folks say all the extra bits translate into these numbers: 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, sub-14-second quarter-mile times and 60 mph to 0 in 115 feet. All this, while still delivering an estimated 28 mpg on the highway. > “With 300 horsepower under the hood, the [Dodge](http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130735#) Caliber SRT4 will dominate the sport-compact market,” says George Murphy, Chrysler senior vice president of global marketing. > Caliber SRT4 goes on sale in spring 2007. ---

Saw it in person, wasn’t impressed. To sound like the import guys: interior looked cheap. You could tell that it was meant to replace the Neon. Exterior looks like a Durango gave birth to it. Ugly momma yields an ugly baby. ---

the thing looks like it was born from mismatched parts the headlights dont have the same shape as the bumper below them, the lower bumper looks like some cobra-r style chinese bodykit, the grill is overpowering in its dodge-ness … way overdone … they put WAY to much thought into it … ---
