That stick location looks awkward for usage, plus I don't like the fact an Suv is replacing a small car...

It's not an SUV. It's a hatchback and it's actually smaller than the Neon. A good comparison, would be the Chevy Malibu MAXX.

I like the new Caliber...it's nice! I would love to buy one when they come out. The Caliber reminds me of the Matrix hatchback, especially with the AWD option. I kinda like the Matrix, so this would be a better alternative IMO! By the way, Dodge is making a Claiber sedan, right? They better! I don't want to see just a Caliber hatchback SRT-4 and not a Sedan version. That would be f*cked up.

Heh, heh, heh, no buddy. It's smaller than the Neon.

Caliber is 173.8 inches long, Neon is 174.4 inches long.

Caliber's wheel base is 103.7 inches, Neon's wheel base is 105 inches.

Although the Caliber is 4 inches taller, and 1 inch wider. The Caliber is smaller length wise. It might look big, but it's smaller than the Neon.

Sorry to disapoint you. Here are the photos of the supposed SRT model. I think it's look good.
