Nah, I still think neons are fugly. The Caliber isn't a beauty queen, but at least it looks more masculine than the smooth and dainty neon.

If by "masculine" you mean butt *** ugly, then yes, I agree.

The Caliber's lines are trying hard too hard to make a statement. Overdone.

Overdone is the best way to put it. Its too tall. From the side it reminds me of a pontiac aztec. Too boxy. At least the neon was a car. I dont know wtf to call this contraption. its like a minivan on steroids. And quit putting spoilers on fwd cars...

next thing you know they'll be making an SRT version of the Dodge Caravan, unless you don't consider the Caliber that already

Saying the Caliber looks better then a Neon isn't really a complement is it?

The neon is Ugly but the S-R-T-4 doesn't look horrible. The Caliber is Ugly but the SRT is the same ugliness with nicer wheels. If I had to choose between those two I'd walk until I could afford a better looking car with rear wheel drive.

I know of black with that goes to the Area 51 meet that has a 50 shot and that car moves for what it is. Turbo + N20 = Quick Caliber!

The neon community mostly didn't like them when they came out either. People are coming around though. They come with a larger turbo in stock form, but they need it, since they added about 300lbs of weight over the neon. Darrell *** got theirs to run 12.0 with a few mods and a small shot already. I wouldn't mind one for a DD/beater but it would never be my main hot rod.

I'd say it's an insult to a Neon. That's how ugly it is. Don't get me wrong; the Neon isn't great looking either. But at least the SRT-4s are easy on the eyes and not over the top - stock-looking ones anyway.

I don't think there is anything good looking about a neon. From the gay rear wing, to the made-for-a-woman smooth egg shaped body style, to the cross-eyed smiley face front end. Did you guys forget how stupid these looked?

The new S_R_T_4 Caliber's are putting down a healthy 320 crank hp{Dyno confirmed} and are going for under sticker which is 22,999. I looked at one but being 6'6 i just can't get another small car
