Hi Pot, Meet Kettle
You need to see an optometrist if you think those look anything alike.
Should we have concern? *Caliber SRT4 content*

Hi Pot, Meet Kettle
Rwutt-row....we got company Scooby...lol Good to see you over here, James. But I have to agree with the other posters in that there is not much comparison in the way the cars look.
However.... I think the Caliber is actually kinda cool. It looks like a little monster truck. Fact is... Srt4 guys simply have always been about straight line speed. High power.. unbreakable engines... slicks.... american truckracing ftw!! The SRT is kinda cool in that its different and fast. Even looks a little boss. In person the interior isnt half bad either.
The MS3 is a better car for me... IMO. Better on the track, nicer interior, handles better, still competitive in a straight line.... Both cars are cool.
Finally.... everybody get your jabs in now at the Caliber. Because in a few months when the new Cobalt hits then were gonna have our hands REALLY full. the car can handle, and that is gonna invade our turf for real. But neither the Cobalt or the MS3 is gonna have the king of power title as long as the SRT4 is at the party. It'll win hands down. thats what it was made for.
Lots of nice options for everybody...... and more coming. I wish I had one of all of them.

And to think their "american power" is all based off ideas/parts from DSM.
like i said Mopar=More problems not more power.

You guys are hating an aweful lot on the Caliber SRT4.
WHy?
One of you said how TALL it is. If you look at the specs, it's about 1"-2" taller than an MS3! It's NOT that much taller! It's not "minivan tall" as someone mentioned. Look it up. It's also not as wide as the MS3, which means it is bound to have more body roll. However....... it handles great. The lane change test in R&D was very good.
You guys should stop be so foul mouthed towards it. Most of the time, when that happens it's only because of 2 reasons.... jealousy.... or fear.

Oh PLEASE, I hate it and I don't even own what's competition to this ugly POS, it looks Minivan tall and feels like an SUV with the poor seating position.
The black plastic trim up on top isn't helping either, it just brings attention to the tall boxy profile the body has.

you have driven one?
So you know how quickly it gets up and goes... you spun the tires, felt the torque?
You have taken into the twisties and felt how well it handles?
and what is ugly to you may not be to someone else.... just take your girl for example! hahaha just kidding! just had to say it.
but seriously. because you hate it doesn't mean ANYTHING bro. It doesn't mean it's a POS, or ugly. And you can't honestly say it's minivan tall without giving some numbers. and as soon as you do that you are going to force me to get my ass up and get the magazine with the specs on them both. which will prove it's only 1"-2" taller than an MS3.
so, WHY r u hating on it so much? Is it jealousy or fear?

Fear, jealousy? Are you serious? Like I said b4, being a mechanic i deal with the VAST differences in quality parts/workmanship everyday. From MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES the dodge chysler products are of a lesser quality than anything mazda offers let alone anything else on the import market in the same area. It just so happens that dodge also made it ugly and even more easy to hate on. Everybody step right up i'm sippin and serving Hate-er-ade for the dodge caliber.(drunk)
It handles good for a truck...lol. This sucker DOES NOT handle good. Its not even in the same ballpark as us. The power and setup, make it difficult to pass on two lane. Ive heard that straight from the horses mouth. My tuner is the "red sheds" tuner and trust me.... they have serious issues even making sure the damn thing can stay straight on the dragstrip. Watch the video. Its jerking all over the place. Its a drag truck/ crossover.... compare it to the CX7 if you want.

I am jelouse of a a couple things about it like the front mount intercooler and better straight line performance. But there is no way I want to be seen in one much less buy one.

Wow another penis measuring contest about the MS3 and the Caliber SRT-4 as if it means/proves anything. I really do want to read all these delightfully witty and insightful posts on the subject.
i think chevy eill be able to make the most power going off the basis thet chevy will have there racing parts available out of the box for it. i think the chevy will be a little cooler seeing how it is a 2 door coop. that CSRT-4 was owned and tuned by the guy that has one of the fastest NSRT-4 the srt will be easier to tune but hay we have a beter interior and we dont look like poo.
lol..man for a second i thought i was on a honda forum..lol! straight line ability.. the caliber has more to offer...really it's what ever your into..want to autox buy an ms3..want to drag race buy a csrt. the csrt will go faster...heck dcr only had the car 2 weeks and were running those times...where are the ms3 vendors? why have hardly any of them stepped up to the plate like dcr and a host of other vendors? if the car is so damn good and is so nice why has the aftermarket taken years to do anything with it? really these are ?'s that i have been wanting answers to for a long time with this car.
What's your point anyway?
You don't have one.
DCR is SRT happy and if they want to pour money in something that can't even hook-up right, do so.
