You know, the Neon has had an "image" to it that is quite contrary to the new SRT-4. Do you think DCX should stop calling the car a Neon SRT-4 and simply call it the "SRT-4"???

The funny thing about this, is that the car does not say neon on it at all.

 

[artur_p]

didn't you guys know that the neon name was droped, now its the SX 2.0 and the SRT-4

 

[drizze99]

Then why does the dodge website still use neon?

On the SRT-4, it is not called a "Neon" anywhere on the website. People and magazines have been adding Neon to the name and now everyone says "Neon SRT-4"

no "neon" name anywhere on this page only SX and SRT

SRT-4 in my book! Anyone want to purchase a Type R sticker, SRT-4 TYPE R.

I will rear end the first srt-4 I see with that on there car.

in canada they are supposedly dropping the neon name, and using just sxt and sx. dont know why though. here in the states they still will use the neon name. probably until the new platform, then whos knows what will happen.

The bad image you talk about, is because of the reliability issues. The SRT-4 is not out yet, maybe the SRT-4 will have a lot of problems too! I just hope that no, cause so far I'm buying it... but we never know!

 

[E36M3]

actually, what I was referring to as far as "image" is concerned is that the campaigns DCX used to support the Neon years ago positioned the Neon as a (dare I say) "cute" car.

The SRT is by no means a cute car...it's a contender in the sport compact category and worthy of respect. That's why in my opionion they should differentiate the SRT from the neon as much as possible.

 

[sirjohnny]

Hum that's a good point

There is sooo much difference between a neon and the srt-4 when you think of it... so yeah, I guess not calling it a neon at all would be good!

What a shame to say to your friends: Hey I just good a fock!ng good sport car, a neon!! What an embarrasment... lol

 

[Slow5OH]

If they really want to drop the Neon name, they should totally redesign the whole car and then do it. SRT....Neon.....whatever you care to call it, it still looks like a Neon. I personally think the SRT doesn't deserve the Neon nameplate, and Dodge should do everything possible to distinguish the two.

i would agree with that. a complete redesign would have been preferable, but that would have probably raised the cost to about $23,000-$25,000.
