awd is definitely out of the question but how badass would it be to see one be rwd. think about it. 1/2 the cost of making it awd and better for launching than a fwd would ever be. i agree that the neon will probably never make it back to the drawing board, but they could slightly remodel the avenger, make it rwd, keep the 2.4 world engine that is in the CSRT4 but start out with a turbo similar to the S3R to compensate for the extra drivetrain loss of the rwd from the fwd. or they could do what they should've done and release the deamon instead of the caliber and have that be rwd with the 2.4t world. a/f should've been stock option, even if only in the gauge cluster like where the CSRT4 has all of its readouts. lets face it, dodge f'd up with the caliber, awd is out of the question, rwd would be a strong possibility, and the fastes cars on the planet are rwd so why would you want to hinder yourself with an awd system.
