Caliber SRT pics+blurb

This car's looks are confusing.

LOL dichiee - I was thinking the same thing - I would feel pretty stoopid after the 50th person asked me what kind of Jeep I'm driving. It looks the illegitimate offspring of a Dodge Nitro and a MS3. With all that extra body fat and unnecessary styling, I would bet that it falls short when compared to the MS3 in the handling department....does anyone know if Dodge made this to compete with a specific make/model?

Caliber looks like it might be an autoX contender......

The Dodge is going to be yet another half-assed attempt at building a competitive product. There is no American car (Cobalt included) that can match the well-rounded design of most japanese/euro cars. Even the "mediocre" Nissans Sentra S-ER is a better package than American cars in the same class. The Caliber may be fast in a strightaway but I highly doubt it has the finess of a MS3 in the turns.

American car company's always fall short of greateness becasue they cut corners. At least that's my opinion. If Dodge really wanted to compete they would have redesigned that ugly interior and upgraded the materials. It looks like they just used the same bad interior they use in the base Calibers.

It's sad really.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. The Calibre SRT may not be a good example but the rest of the SRT line is ****** stellar.

Unless of course your argument is only considering 4-cylinder products on the market.

Here are some pics of a regular caliber sittin on duece dueces, looks a little better. Too heavy for performance of course but looks better.

The first pic of the SRT makes it look like a transformer which is not a good thing for a hot hatch, truck maybe.

Oh god why? WHHYYYY?????

I knew you guys would hate it.

 

[MS3ICA]

looks like a nice ride, atleast they had enough sense to put a boost guage stock

 

[Kosh]

The outside looks better in these pictures than what was posted in another Caliber SRT thread a couple months ago. The car doesn't look too bad in person. The interior looks really bad. The head unit doesn't look integrated with the rest of the interior and looks small with that plastic surround.

WTF they stole our red stitching. Those bastards.

i think the car looks like garbage, but I will say this, i think its awesome that the automakers are finally giving true performance cars to those who cant or wont pay 30k for a car. regardless of my personal feelings towards the car i give thumbs up to the manufacturers.

indeed kudos...but still a pos

[clos561]

I'm gonna wait to see the #'s some mags put out on this before I say too much.
The car is ugly but it has a turbo 4 cylinder engine so I'm intrested to see what it has. I don't agree with the american's don't have a 4 cylinder turbo car that is good looking and fast, what about the sky redline??? I'm not sure on the quality but it does look sexy.
