I don't see the problem with an AWD system for the SRT4 either... quote: ORIGINAL: The Burning Rom They COULD use it in the Sebring/Stratus. The Avenger is long gone , Unless you mean the Avenger concept which probably won't get green lit with the Caliber and Nitro both in production . But I don't know how much life is left in the Stratus, and IIRC the Sebring platform may move to RWD with the next incarnation as well. Oh the new Avenger is coming... http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_407951/tm.htm and so is the Sebring... and I believe AWD options will be coming with them... < Message edited by MidnightBlueNeon -- 3/3/2006 2:29:52 PM > _____________________________ My Meet & Greet Gas Fund (in reply to The Burning Rom) Post #: 17

So all we can do is wait till the first year run is over and see what they got in the works for us. Man am i glad im not buying a first year run of this car. (in reply to Midnight) Post #: 18

They are smart, they know they will get people around the world that will buy it with FWD as it was anounced in Geneva that it will be sold in left and right hand drive to the world and then bring out AWD and get proberly some of the same people and more people buying SRT-4's AWD.

Other than that it would put Ford at a greater dissadvantage cause they have no plans to market the euro Focus in the united states. GO DODGE make an AWD Caliber and enter it in the WRC (in reply to hemi 265) Post #: 20

Thats what Dodge really need to show there name in the world motorsport seen, and a Caliber at the moment will be best choice and most realistic. (in reply to Majin_Neon_00) Post #: 21
