Hmmm... Competition for the Caliber... Die Mazda, Die! lol

Oneupsmanship is good for the consumer <drool>

I think that might be fun to go test drive. I certainly like the front end better on that then the Caliber.

After reading your posted links …. I wanted to inform you of some features that catch people’s attention on the 2007 Dodge Caliber.
The caliber is something you have to see in person to really appreciate it :)

You have to see the Chill Zone in the glove box, and the MusicGate Power feature that pulls down in the back for tailgating … Very cool!
If you want more, check out www.dodge.com (http://www.dodge.com/mktcode/index.html?pid=Forum&adid=Freak_ForumIntervention_Automotive&actionURL=http://www.dodge.com), you can build and price a Dodge Caliber.
Or … I’m always here if you have any questions.

yea thats all good and all, however that 275hp the mazda3 has is a good insentive.


(edit) oooo yea i just read about the 300hp srt4. so i guess we`ll see who has the better featurs.

Wait for the new SRT-4, it's gonna be cool!!!

I'm not worried about the weak, measly Mazda...

The thing is... Dodge put 300 hp in this thing, so of course it was gonna be compared the to the STi and EVO... So, still disappointed about no AWD...

duster117 ... IMO the features in the Dodge Caliber, are unique ... I think they will be a hit [sm=smiley20.gif]
I'm excited too QuickSilver05, for the new Dodge Caliber SRT4! DaimlerChrysler is calling it our new 'pocket rocket'! [sm=smiley17.gif] I love that hood scoop !!!!!

The only thing I don't like about the Caliber is it's rear end, it's just to big. I think it might help if the tail lights weren't so overstated. Maybe the aftermarket will answer the call to fix this problem.

QuickSilver05 ... good call [sm=smiley20.gif]. When available, maybe Mopar will carry some 'cool' stuff to sup' up the Dodge Caliber's 'back end' for ya ;) ... lol
Right now there is no information regarding 2007 Mopar Accessories, but I'll keep you posted!

one mistake was made with the SRT-4 NO ALL WHEEL DRIVE!!!??? What the heck?! you can get a R/T with AWD not the kick ass in your face get out of my way im better than you SRT-4, I was extreamly dissapointed when i read that it was Front wheel drive, thats like saying the next viper will have a V8. You could have given mitsu and Subaru a run for their money but i guess not all that power to the front wheels huh? ... kinda sad maybe I will just buy a SRT-4 Neon at least that isnt a dissapointment.

The last time Mazda turboed a motor is was nothing more then a stock N/A motor with a turbo, very bad idea. I wonder if they did the same thing with this.
