    Somewhat the exterior look has grown on me.

    Would like to see one in person to be able to come up with a better judgement on the overall car.

    I love it... Very aggressive looking yet still holds that family value feel as well.

    I'd like to see one IRL before I make too firm a descision. But for starters, I think it is Fugly......However,actual price and performance can make it much prettier........ IMO

    Got to do a test drive at the SRT set up they had at the Coronado Speed Festival. Pretty fun cars. Handled better than you think they do, but still room for improvement.

    They actually look very cool "in the flesh". They had a prototype at the SRT Nationals last year. In fact .... why yes ... that's where those photos were taken.

    I would like to sit in one and test drive it as well to see how it performs. They need to come out already.

    I think this thing epitomizes the Boy Racer type ride. It's very nice IMO. Aggressive-looking? Fo sho! Rims are totally bad-ass. And practical. Oh, and if the above pics still don't do it for ya....maybe this will change your mind..

    At first I really liked it but since then, eh. Might look better lowered an inch or so and in black. Haven't seen one in person though, my dealer only has the base models around and they are fugly. Maybe that's what's killing it for me.

    You know what Scotty? I had a regular Caliber as a fricken rental one day...and I HATED IT. That POS is sooooooooooo slow...and made me more bored driving than almost anything except a Ford Focus..I felt like I'd rather be rubbing my scrotum down a cactus tah finish a 4 hr trip in this car.... But this car is different...and you know this one wouldn't stay stock long either heheheehe. Pocket Rocket my man, pocket rocket.

    They are slowly growing on me but one that is keeping me on the sidelines is the lack of a LSD.

    I'm getting one :) Delivery in late January early Feburary for us. Dan is getting the BT Charger. I can't wait to get in this and drive it. My mom has a Caliber R/T and I love the car. I miss driving a stick shift. I love the Charger, but even with the seat up as high as it will go I still have a hard time seeing over the hood.

    yes, some folks may be lucky enough who ordered one to see it by the end of the month. Ken and I order ours right after Halloween. I can't wait. :band:

    I am getting the Hemi orange so I will then be among the SRT crowd ;)
