Caliber SRT 300hp

Is this the first 300hp front wheel drive stock from the factory?

The Impala and Monte Carlo SS both have 303 hp from the small block. So that's 3 more than 300 . The Pontiac Bonville has the same engine. I think those are the 3 ugliest cars. (not to mention crappiest).

And all 3 would benefit immensely by being RWD.

I like that the Caliber is at least a hatch. Speed and utility. To bad it looks like some f'ed up PT cruiser.
