Caliber SRT-4 missing in action ???

Has anyone personally seen one of these?







It's been out for two years now, and I've never seen one of these either on the street or at the local Dodge dealership. There were/are plenty of Neon SRT-4's around; I know they were/are popular in Tucson.

Is the Caliber SRT-4 simply an answer to a question that no one is asking? Is it a compact car? Not really. Is it an SUV? Not really. Is it a cross-over? I'm not sure what a crossover is, to tell you the truth.

In any case, it seems that the Caliber SRT-4 simply has not caught on like the Neon SRT-4. Or at least not in Tucson.

I thought replacing the Neon with the Caliber was a bit like replacing the tangerine with the grapefruit. They may both say Dodge, I mean citrus, but size and taste is way different.

Are the rest of you seeing many of the Caliber SRT-4's in your areas?

I have seen a lot of these around. The Dodge dealerships around here have quite a few as well.

It is an interesting vehicle, but I'll stick with my RA.

I haven't seen one in person either, even at a dealership. If you read reviews on it, it apparently pretty much sucks.

yeah, i have seen a few. they are ugly as sin (as were the NSRT's) but throw down respectable numbers and times.

i know of one in socal with simple bolt ons/ exhaust, tune and a few other little misc mods and i think it threw down 340. which is damn respectable.

and remember, it shares the same motor as the Evo X 4b11
