From a practical perspective, it hits all the notes of utility and sport for a guy in my position.
And you have to respect 300 hp and 260 lb-ft. in something the size of a Matrix.

I thought that the Caliber that was at the DC Auto Show was a pretty impressive little vehicle. It was like a pocket Durango...if the mechanicals are solid and the price is right, it's going to be very popular.

Someone once made a crack about putting "lipstick on a pig"...
Looks like they did that and strapped on a jet engine as well. I admire the numbers, but the visuals are gag-inducing.

Quote:
Overview:
* 300 horsepower, 260 lb-feet of torque
* 0-60 in under 6 seconds (similar to Neon SRT-4)
* 28 mpg on the highway (22 city)
* Front wheel drive !?
* Quarter mile in under 14 seconds
* 60-0 braking in 115 feet
I would expect that with 300hp and 260ft lbs that the 0-60 would be under 6 secs, and it better damn well have a <14 sec 1/4 mile. Pretty sad performance figures, nice numbers. Too bad Dodge took a Durango, shrunk it, and beat it to a bloody pulp with the ugly stick.
