Vrooom Vrooooooom!!
SO, here's the dilemma, I want to get a specific car when I get back home: the 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 ACR. Now the problem. Dodge discontinued this car in November, the entire Neon platform was scrapped and has been replaced with the Caliber. Well, the Dodge Caliber looks like a freaking Ford Focus somewhat from the side, with a horrid 'miniaturized Dodge Durango' front end look to it. Holy God that thing is ugly!! It does grow on you a little, like mold I guess. Some people actually like the Caliber a lot (like spam, she's buying one haha!!)
Dodge says they are going to have a performance version from the SRT department (Special Research Team, the acronym for Dodge's performance division), but details on that are sketchy and rumors are running rampant all over the place. Current SRT4 motor, or the 'all world' 2.5 with a turbo? Will it be all wheel drive, or front wheel drive? Will they call it the Caliber SRT4 or will it be called the Caliber Rally Edition (this will likely be based on the drivetrain, SRT4 for FWD, or Rally Edition for the AWD version).
Some people have done PhotoShop versions of the vehicle and it's not too bad. So now I'm torn, do I buy one of the last of the Neons in the SRT4 ACR, if I can even find one? Or do I wait for a sportier version of the Caliber, that might be a total dud, ugly as sin? Choices, choices, stay tuned...

I said I need you, does that make me wrong?
Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong?
My heart was blackened, it's bloody red
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head?

Bah, I want the Shelby Dodge Daytona you had. That or a Mitsu Eclipse from the mid ninties. Driven the Neon and am meh about it. * chuckles * Guess its all about what you do with it though.
Neons are ugly. That new car sounds ugly. Surely, there is a fast and not-ugly car you want to drive, right? If you are talking that price range, you can get a C5 'Vette and drop some cams or something and be pushing 350+hp in a SEXY car. No kidding, I am considering it myself. ^^ I think you can even look past the SRT4, if you are going to finance a car, you can use some of that desert money to beef it up. $3k in any car will make a big difference. Take what I say with a grain of salt, of course, because my hp-happy ways cost me a transmission in my VR4. 8oP
I want the Lincoln LS. Now there is a sexy car that I realize has nothing to do with the cars you're talking about BUT I THINK THEY'RE SEXY ANYWAY so I thought I'd toss my two cents in--wanted or not. *grin*
