Looks like us Speed3 guys have some competition in our Class... While Performance is there, don't care for the looks of it IMO.

Ugly, not cool, and bound to fall apart in about 2 years. I can't think of a single reason why I would visit a Dodge dealership. If someone happens to be a Mopar person, that wouldn't be looking at anything decent to begin with.

What sucks penis is that, the SRT4 will have tons of aftermarket support right after release and will be able to achieve a lot more than our MS3's due to that.

But it will still be a neon; or in this case a charger that wants so badly to be a cool car but just can shed its suv/truck looks. (If i could find the "throw up" smiley it would have been inserted. lol to all the smiley’s [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] )

I have to say I was confused about the idea to cancel the Neon and build the Caliber..... not that the neon was anything special, but the caliber blows...
I am reminded of another wierd looking vehicle....the aztek.....mmm mmm mmm

I am reminded of a saying.... "its like polishing a turd"

This has to be the best car ever built. I should think we all get together and see if we can do a "group buy". Maybe we could get some great trade-in money for our Mazdas. [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]
