Isn't it horrible! Get your REAL SRT-4 'Neon" while you can!!! Supposedly the SRT-4 version will have the new World Engine 2.4. We'll see! I am not intrested in either. I never really liked the Neon but got over it because of what the SRT4 is. It grew on me and when done right I really do like the look of the 2nd Gen Neon based SRT-4. This Caliber thing I would have a hard time getting over.
I just so happen to now own 2 Domestic Sport Compacts of which their product lines were dropped 3 years in the making of the offered performance (ie.. SVT SRT4) model. Wonderful! Resale value loves that option!
The Fusion looks ok, but it's SVT version is missing, and it's kinda heavy for me. No Chevy's for me so the Slowbalt is not an option. Besides, I have crewed enough on the GAC ST Cobalts of Lepper/Roach to know how crappy those Caviliers are. Ever seen the rear suspension on one? Check it out! Im not intrested in a MSpeed 6....Hmmm, the domestic sport compact scene is looking grim! Next time im buying a Bimmer!! Double VANOS time...hehe/
