I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, the ONLY thing that I liked about it is that you could fit 4 beers in the glove box, perfect for offering the cop one if he will let you off a ticket.

i'd take the SRT version....

300hp 260 torque. AWD!

[Frost__2001]

yeah more or less these things were more or less put together out of the parts bins, like the Durango a few years ago when they wanted another car on the market without having a clue on what way to design it.

a 4 cylinder pushed to the limits to haul an overweight SUV.... yay

[scoobasteve]

Haha, it'll still be faster than your focus.

unfortunately, you're right.

the AWD version is 3308 lbs
focus = 2699 lb

the focus would need about 244 HP to keep up to the power/weight ratio of the Caliber SRT-4

I assumed that since it looked like an SUV, it must be as heavy as one, it ain't.

[NOS2Go4Me]

ICK. Yet another un-needed piece of crap.

I'll stick with the Focus.

[Euro Ford Fan]

I like it, hope they get to the dealers soon.

The scary thing is the 5 door svt is just shy of 2900 lb... with about half the hp

[NefCanuck]

That thing is supposed to make people forget the biodegradable car that was the Neon/SX2.0? Maybe it will if only because the thing is so stupifyingly UGLY!

I'm sorry but it has no flow, looks about as charming as a brick to the face, hell, it makes the Toyota Prius look handsome in comparision :puke:

As to the weight of the Focus, did it go on a weight reduction plan or something for 05+? Listed weight is approx 2300lbs :blink:

now if it keeps the beer cold, i'll put it in the maybe pile.

[FociPhil]

mmmm...glove-box beer.

I dont mind it..mind YOU, i havent test drove one yet.

[euro_zx5]

Well, it doesn't change the Dodge look much, does it?

Besides, that beer holder is great for people against drinking and driving... i'm sure there will be a problem with that!

[scoobasteve]

uh....

those are bottles of water...

[S2]

Goes nicely along with Dodge's POS looking s***ass vehicle line. No thanks, I wouldn't even take one for free unless I could sell it ASAP.

Gross....

Haha, only if.... Imagine getting a bottle of vodka with a sport cap. So convenient. :lol:
