Default Report: Dodge Kills Off Caliber SRT4


The high-powered Caliber SRT4 is being cut from the Dodge lineup. The folks over at Car & Driver noticed the absence of the vehicle in Dodge's 2010 product lineup and have confirmed with Chrysler Page Ranking that this is no mix-up. The SRT4 is dead. Sadly, this also means that no model in the company's new lineup will feature the Caliber's 285-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.

Under new ownership by Fiat since the U.S. automaker emerged from bankruptcy protection, Chrysler's Dodge brand will instead focus on moving more high-volume Caliber models.

The Caliber SRT4 is just the latest high-performance vehicle to become a casualty of the recession, with one of the car's main competitors, the Chevy Cobalt SS Sedan having been eliminated from GM's product lineup earlier this year.

Whether you followed the NSRT4 or CSRT4, it is sad news for everyone. :/

I'd like to see a 3rd Gen SRT4, but it doesn't look like that will happen.

Too late so say "I can't say I'm sad to see it go." as it will be back for another year.

An Avenger SRT would have also been a bad idea. Both it and the Caliber are both bad cars to start with.
