It is uglier when you see it on the road...

It's not on the market yet to my knowledge. It was in Car & Driver a couple of months back.

PNOY...I just did a quick google search and the only places I found that mentioned the SRT with a 303hp engine were all call forums...nothing actually from Dodge themselves. If it's out there...I certainly didn't see anything either.

I'm a MOPAR guy at heart, and I really tried selling myself on the Caliber. The HHR feels like it has a lot more power than the 2.0 SXT automatic I test drove. I also think you are pushing it when you say the Caliber has "awesome handling". Better than the HHR? Yes, but far from awesome.

I also see a lot of people who are not getting the claimed gas mileage.

Now the SRT-4 Caliber might make me think a little different. It does/will exist. It's right on the Dodge website.

But notice it says late availability. I'm not doubting they exist, they are just not out on the road yet nor does Dodges website let you build one.

Has anybody seen a Jeep Compass? They are in my opinion a lot nicer looking than the caliber and they look better in styling with the interior than the interior. The only thing that it really took me by surprise was that it can come in 4wd which is the only area it beat the hhr in.
