yes..its coming out, and it will have more power than the SRT4 neon...and there is a good chance that it could be AWD...as it is built on a similar platform to the evo, and could basically be a detuned, wagon model of the evo.

Methinks you give to much credit to the Evo, as it is just a fast Lancer (which is Mitsu's cheap car). The SRT is just a Neon after all is said and done, but people think Evo's are nice, solid cars, which they aren't. They are basically econoboxes. Expensive, fast, econoboxes. Kinda like SRT-4's.

And the AWD Caliber is a myth, like bigfoot. Yep, one day it may be found, but as of now, it's just a figment of someone's imagination.

If they make an AWD Caliber SRT-4, I think I may just have to buy one regardless of how ugly it may be. The interior in the Caliber is really nice for a crap car!!!! And lots of room!!!! OMG, I am making excuses to buy one already, someone HELP!!!!

I remember when my brother told me they would never make an AWD 300C back when they first came out. He owes me a kick in the *** the next time he has some leave, haha. I don't see why they WOULDN'T make the Caliber AWD. Whatever it my qualify as, it doesn't seem that staying FWD(especially as a performance machine) would be stupid. Very stupid.

I haven't seen any AWD Caliber's. I called a dealer awhile back (because if there is an AWD Caliber, there will be an AWD SRT-4 Caliber) and he said nope, just FWD, and they hadn't heard of an AWD model coming out. Who knows though, some dealers are clueless.

Whilst on the throne a few minutes ago, I was reading my Dodge magazine, and behold, and I quote "AWD is standard on the R/T model, available late 2007."

Can a sedan AWD Caliber SRT-4 be to far behind??? I hope not. Evo's and WRX's watch out, there's a domestic AWD turbo coming to a town near you!!!!
