who the damn names a car line "Caliber"?

the Magnum and it's little brother the Caliber? my ribs hurt just thinking about it.

what no more srt-4

Tom Libby, senior director of analysis for the Power Information Network, said U.S. automakers have a tougher time making money on small vehicles than their Asian rivals because they have such high fixed labor costs. Libby said it made sense for Chrysler to put more money into minivans and trucks, where it can make much higher margins, than to spend more on boosting the Neon.

:laughing1:

The Caliber, which will be priced similarly to the Neon, has a more contemporary, wagon-like design. The Caliber is chiseled and aggressive, a complete departure from the Neon.

the caliber, "mini magnum"

the srt-4 owners are all :weep:

So whats new? Neons have been dying since they were released...

 

[IceBolt]

i think that was a good move for them, except for neon lovers of course.

I always love to see new cars come out. except most of them are more expensive and just look more boxy.

"I think the Neon was a fantastic car for its day," said Andre Tadros, general manager of Northwestern Dodge"


Yeah, it was pretty awesome how 1/4 the cars that rolled off the truck were leaking oil from the headgasket...

And chrysler didn't cover it under warranty until like 1999

know what would be even better? take the drivetrain from a viper, and put it in a Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice

[Celerity]
