High-caliber Performance: With 300 Horsepower, All-new 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 to Dominate Sport-compact Market

• Tire-smoking 300 horsepower -- 85 more than the original Dodge SRT4 -- and 260 lb.-ft. of torque
• 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds
• All-around performance of a true “tuner car” right from the manufacturer
• Benchmark performance at the best price

Chrysler Group’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) group will take the SRT4 reputation to new heights with the introduction of the all-new, 300-horsepower 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4.

“The all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 achieves the SRT mission of offering benchmark performance for the best price,” said George Murphy, Senior Vice President – Global Marketing, Chrysler Group. “With 300 horsepower under the hood, the Dodge Caliber SRT4 will dominate the sport-compact market.”

With true tuner performance right out of the box and a great price, enthusiasts immediately took to the original SRT4, which was introduced in 2003 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. In the 2003-2005 model years, more than 25,000 Dodge SRT4s were sold.

“We couldn’t wait to infuse Dodge Caliber with the SRT formula,” said Murphy. “The all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 delivers a strong dose of all-around performance while delivering at least 28 miles per gallon on the highway. Our new SRT pocket rocket will be a hoot to drive.”

FF?!

lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
not to mention its ugly as fuck.

so it has absolutely nothing going for it.

God dammit Dodge, I wish you'd just go out of business already. This "intimidating" look you give all your cars this day is just down right retarded.

And what the hell, they used the name SRT4.... they already have an SRT4...now they release another car that is nowhere near the same with the same fucking name!? hows that for stupidity.

dodge is the only car company stupid enough to put 300hp through the front wheels only

Dodge is the only Yanky car maker not posting losses in 2005...so they must be doing something right...

I personally know 2 shit-for-brains loosers who mannaged to flip their 215BHP Neon SRT-4s...with a higher CoG and an extra 85 BHP going to the front wheels...any bets on how many more flip their Calibur SRT-4??

how is this thing sporty.. it looks like a fucking SUV

That's because Daimler-Chrysler is reveling in their uniqueness instead of trying to beat Honda and Toyota at their own game. How much energy have GM and Ford spent trying to defeat the Accord and Camry, the Civic and Corolla? Meanwhile, Dodge has had massive success with the 300/Magnum as well as the PT Cruiser. The PT Cruiser sells well because it's an image-car (like the Mini Cooper) that also happens to be a useful econobox; the 300's only Japanese competition is the Avalon (and the 300 has a very different image), and the Magnum has no Japanese equivalent.

Not to mention, the Ram is the meanest-and-most-macho full-size truck. It's not the most refined or the most reliable, but Dodge figured out that it's not refinement or reliability that sells full-size trucks. It's testosterone. So I see more Rams on the road than F-150s and Silverados combined--at least away from the countryside, where full-size trucks are all about image.

Just speaks to how much people consider image when buying a car.

Because it's fast in a straight line. Remember that this is from the same company that brought us the Ram SRT-10 (or whatever it's called). You and I may think that "sporty" may mean "sporty handling," but there are a lot of people out there who only care about straight-line performance.

What kind of image are they trying to go for with the PT Cruiser? O_o I guess since I'm not an old lady (between 40-60) i cant appreciate it.

not as good a product as the Japanise equivilants (Legacy wagon is a Magnum competition)

(I can't believe that phrase just came out of my mouth).

A4 starts at $28,000 USD

300 starts at $28,000 USD (for the touring edition) while the 300C starts at $34,000USD

A4 is still cheaper, and has a better trap speed.

i still have to say, when I could have a new A4 on my drive for the same price as a Chrysler 300, I begin to wonder why i see so many of these things on the road!


is so much nicer than

^^Agreed.

The 300 is a frickin' LIMO inside, and for the price of a lightly equipped 4 cylinder Audi you get a V8 rear wheel drive 300.

Considering I drove/worked on Limos over the summer and one of my bosses had a 300 and let me drive it... I hated it. The interior, atleast, since I didn't drive it for too long. It's nothing like a limo. You could practically eat a full course meal on the top of the dash rather comfortably.

Compared to a real limo, a Chrysler 300 isn't limo-huge. But is sure is compared to a frickin' Audi A4.

Why are you comparing a compact car to a large car? The VAG cars that are a comparable size to the Chrysler are the Phaeton and the A8, not the A4
