new srt-4

19" rims? When are they going to fess up and call it a crossover SUV?

won't be surprised if they re-do it in the next 2 years.

you do realize that comparing the size totals of the sxt model caliber (the srt-4 model will be lower than the sxt) which the it is only bigger than the ms3 in height by 2.2". It is also shorter in length by 3" and is only wider by 1.8".

Cars today are getting bigger every year and the size of the caliber is very decieving. I am not trying to be a fanboi just stating facts.

and aren't you guys rolling on 18"s in the ms3?

Edit: personally I think that the aftermarket tire companies have alot to do with the 19" size of the wheels..forcing people to purchase a tire that size that is usually more expenisive than a 20" tire.

Well...getting into more detail of my post. I considered the 18X7 stock size of the MS3 to be crazy, but at least you had some reasonable tire choices for it. Going to the 19" rim on the SRT jumps the tire prices available for it into the $260-300+ per tire range. And that's only 7 tire choices available through TireRack. The MS3 (assuming you go to a 225/45-18) gives you 37 choices for tires and all but a few are under $200 each.

I got rear ended and they gave me a caliber SXT as a rental car

my god its a piece of s***!

the srt-4 is probably more powerful, but I doubt the interior is gonna be any better...its got pretty much everything as plastic, the vents snap after like a day cause of the bad way they built them, the shifter is supposed to be 'rally style' and have it attached to the dash instead of a center console, but its just annoying there

god I hated that car while I had it, traded it back to them and got a jetta instead

Id rather be driving a beater ass taurus than that piece

I had a Caliber SXT for a rental back in June. You are right, it sucked. Obviously, you can't compare the engines between that and the SRT-4, but I didn't like the interior nearly as much as my MS3.

Ok let's just get this completely out of the way

THE INTIORER SUCKS OK ....so now that the air is clear


from a perfomance stand point face it..it will be very fast.

geez you guys act like your driving a benz or bimmers. The fact is that dodge has always cheaped out on the inside of most their cars, esp. ones at his price point. And believe me I wish the cali. had a better interior as I own one.

 

[camrycev6]

Benz or Bimmers? What are you talking about? I just said that I didn't like the interior as much as my MS3. That is hardly a drastic or derisive statement. I like the interior of a Hyundai Accent better than a John Deere tractor too, so what? I have ridden around in many BMWs (no Benz's) and I wasn't "wowed" by the interior. Nice...yeah...but nothing my Infiniti and other nice cars don't offer. In fact...the MS3 interior is almost as nice as a BMW's IMHO.

As far as them (Caliber SRT-4) being fast, like in another post I just read, they are reporting better 0-60 times than the MS3 already. Fine... I still wouldn't want to trade my MS3 in just so I could go 0.3 seconds faster 0-60.

a recent mag release said it would be a mid 13 second car. For a FWD that means it will run like a low 13 second [non-fwd] car when rolling.

You know what I say when some guy in a Honda, Mazda, or anything with a nice interior says "Oh yeah, WELL YOUR INTERIOR SUCKS!"??

I don't say anything.......I'm too far ahead to hear them!!

 

[CantCMe]

my '93 SHO interior sucked but it moved too fast and the audio sounded too good to even notice...

perfect!! lol that's now my sig.

 

[Rotary_Powered]

This is funny everyone, thinks their car is better. Everyone feels the need to justify their purchase...lol.

 

[TonyBSRT]

Good deal boostdog!! LOL

 

[TonyBSRT]

CantCMe, You shold have had a '90 SHO like mine! The interior was SO much better! I miss that old Yamahammer..........

 

[DeadGeneration]

All I know is the interior is the easiest thing to cheap out on and that's why there is a specific category for "luxury sports cars". Those people don't have to worry about these retarded threads.

I took pics of that motor...it was beautiful...wish they could have put that in a rwd platform. The only thing I hated was it was an automatic, but damn it had some pull. My wife liked doing burnouts in it when I wasn't around.
