american build cars just sux
the quality jsut not the same

 

SRT4 Neon = EVO X

 

oh boy...the above pic made me throw up in my mouth.

 

im in the generation of evo lovers where it will be nearly impossible to find even an evo9. illa dmit the paddle shifting is the only reason i would not buy one. not as fun. i just hope standard tranny is offered as an option. servicing the evo would become more expensive and more complex. and how many places can u go that kno how to fix a paddle shifter. it will b more of a pain in the A** than it would anything else.

 

I dono,
if the car looks like that then it's hot and sexy, but as long as it's labeled Dodge and not mitsu. The Evo X is just pure crap, to me. It's dodge and mitsu together which just dont work

 

isn't that picture an old photochop that was posted in one of the first hundred pages of this thread?

it's actually labeled as a photoshop, too...

 

^Yes it is. Especially considering you can see actual pics of the new SRT-4 in Car and Driver and Motortrend. This one isn't even a hatch, which is the platform the SRT-4 is being built on.

 

Actually they already said something about not doing anymore Neon SRT-4 s they are gonna pick up where the Neon left off with the Calibur or whatever it is.

 

Yes it's the Calibur SRT-4, although I don't know if they'll drop the "Calibur" part like they did the "Neon" part for the Neon SRT-4.

 

The car is called the evolution for a reason. A SMG tranny IS superior to a regular manual. If you don't like it, don't opt for it. I highly doubt the SMG will be the only tranny offered.

 

I want paddle shifting, used to have E46 M3 SMG. However, whilst the claimed change is 80ms, this was only at redline on full throttle, and also the time that torque is lost at the wheels was more like 250-300ms on datalogs I've seen, so not really quicker than a manual. Can keep both hands on the wheel and have a lazy auto mode, and also the changes are consistent though. DSG seems quicker?

 

I want paddle shift, so my wife can get one. swabe!

 

I want paddle shift because Ive never owned one.... new experiences.... training for the day I can afford a Ferrari

wait a minute, isn't mitsu in the financial pickle that they are in due to not taking care of recalls that should have happened to japanese vehicles built in japan?
