Cut from ledes of yesterday's stories on the 2010 Dodge Caliber was news of the death of the not-as-good-as-the-Neon-SRT4 pocket-rocket Dodge Caliber SRT4. We're not surprised. It was so unloved they were selling new at CarMax for $10K off MSRP. More »

Proving the Carpocalypse isn't all bad, CarMax is selling a new 285 HP car equipped with a six-speed manual transmission for $16,769, or about $10K off the MSRP. The catch? It's a Dodge Caliber. More »

The Dodge Caliber SRT4 has six forward gears, but I never once felt the need to use all of them. Was there more mileage to be gained? Sure. But it was a lot more fun to shift down to second and feel the car pull forward. I was driving like a 17-year-old, which is the only way to drive if you're going to enjoy this car. Try driving it like an adult and you're going to hate it. More »

Dodge has announced the winner of the "Are You Tuned Out" contest, which invited the boyfriends and girlfriends of gearheads to write a short essay explaining why their significant other was completely ignoring them. The winner was Zach Madrid of Colorado Springs, who was so tuned-out that he was unable to have a "civilized conversation" with his fiancee if there was a car on television. As the winner of the competition, Madrid gets a brand new Caliber SRT4, which is sure to drive a wedge deeper into their already delicate relationship. Full press release below: More »

Whoa, we've had two photo finishes in a row now- first Friday's Repo Man Edition and then yesterday's Lancia Thema versus Baldwin Motion Vette Choose Your Eternity polls have really been too close to declare a winner. And tough choices are what Hell is all about, right? Well, that plus a car that would be really, really fun if you could only get the damn thing working. With that in mind, we're going all patriotic with today's tough choices- some folks think that Detroit never could get the front-drive hot rod done right, but what about the Dodge SRT-4 (or, ahem, a somewhat cheaper facsimile) and the Ford Taurus SHO?

The folks at Motive magazine that's not a magazine have a neat little comparo review of sport compacts or as they put it: "sixteen cylinders and four turbos for 1/13th the price of a Veyron." Why they've got to compare everything to a Bugatti Veyron, we've no idea, but it's a good read especially as it gives Mopar meatheads a chance to to see how the latest member of the SRT tribe, the anything-but-cute Caliber, handles the pressure. Unfortunately, even with 285 HP and 265 lb-ft of torque, the Dodge-loving folks out there may find out the importance of a full TCS-off mode and why the limited-slip diff from the old Neon SRT4 probably shouldn't have been parted with on the new pocket road rocket from the Hemi-powered brand. Check out the fully enjoyable review over at Motive. [Motive] More »

$80.64 per bhp, or $3,832.50 per second to 60, depending on how you justify the purchase. Of course, it's probably easier just to say $22,995 per car, including destination, but that's just not so much fun. Any way you look at it, the 285 HP SRT4 is a serious bargain. Full press release after the jump. More »

How badly do we want to drive a 300hp, 260 lb-ft torque Caliber SRT4? Well, when one of us was the fat kid in high school, there was this gorgeous, busty, and curly-haired redhead a year older than us. She was one of those girls who lit up the hallway with her smile, her voice and oh, those...curls. Despite being pocket-sized, you always knew she was there. And she totally never knew we were. Oh how we totally wanted to rock her world. But, since no one ever wants to rock the fat kid's world, we just had to sit there during lunch hour with our soft-serve ice cream cone and dream about it. We'd trade all of that...the girl, the dreams and probably the cone for the chance to drive one of them thar SRT4's. Cause if we were big pimpin' in an SRT4, we would totally get a hotter chick anyway. At least we hope. More »

Dodge released photos of its new Caliber SRT-4 it plans to unveil later this morning in Chicago. No wimpmongers, them, they've created a 300hp monster that completely obliterates memory of the Neon family it replaces, even in its own SRT trim. How'd they do it? Nope, not a Hemi. All that juice — including sub-six-second zero-to-60 tiimes — comes from a turbocharged and otherwise tricked-out version of the company's 2.4-liter four-banging world engine. Oh, did we mention it's four-wheel-drive. Yep. Did someone say LS6 Cobalt? [Update: Sorry kids, 4WD was just a rumor. It's front-wheel.] More »
