Hmmm...if they made an i-vtec turboed motor for the rsx...

Is that RDX using a K-series engine?
Interesting. I'm sure its already on Car & Driver's 10 Best list and is a frontrunner for Motor Trend COTY and at the top of JD Power IQS survey, even though it isn't out yet.

The Caliber SRT-4 will be AWD. It's the same platform the Evo X will be on and it will probably cost more for them to modify it into a FWD. It has the same exact engine as the previous SRT-4 does just bumped up in power. I think it probably comes with the mopar Stage 3 turbo from the factory, but not sure. When I had my SRT the stocker was out of breath by the 300hp range.

This post will probably prove useless, but here goes:
This link is from Autoweek.com's Chicago show-
http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...REE/302080001/
They state that the car is FWD. Unless Dodge has got a trick up it's sleeve (and they might), AWD is not mentioned.

On the SRT site I'm pretty sure it said the SRT8 Jeep will pull over 1G on the skid pad
so not so sure about it rolling

Offically it's only FWD, it' is also the platform that will be used for the Outlander(or maybe it's Endeavor), Evo X, and next PT Cruiser. The engine is the all aluminum world engine developed by Mitsu, Hyundai and Dodge and will also be used in the Evo X. So the Evo X should have in excess of 300hp if Dodge got 300 out of it. Its also more on the scale of a Vibe or Matrix I think at least in height. Still a high center of gravity will mean poor handling.

No. The Dodge 4 cylinder A-series has been retired. The Mitsubishi 4GXX series is soon to follow.
