...I got the new Neon with the new SRT Design Group? Originally when I heard about this, I thought it was gonna look exactly like the SRT-4, just slower, and minus the interior features. Meaning I thought it was gonna be a huge RIP that would ruin the SRT-4 image. However, now that I've seen pics, I realized it just resembles an SRT-4, but is missing the bottom sills around the entire car, and also the nostrils.

So now, what do you guys that actually own SRT-4's feel about this? If I got one, because I feel it's much better looking than a stock Neon, do you guys think it'd be retarded? Or do you think they look different enough that it's ok to get one? Cuz honestly, right now I hate the front end of the Neon I have now. Personally, I think they're different enough to get one. Here are some pics so you can see the new look

So do you have a SRT-4 right now or were you going to get the SRT-4? I say get whatever you want, it is your money. But don't buy the SRT and put a -4 at the end .

i wont , i think it looks nice. screw what everyone else thinks, the people that hate it are the people who argue that the srt is not a neon

 

[myfault]

im already not too fond of you...
but i wouldnt hate you any worse

go for it dude! :thumbsup:

 

[dymondboy2f]

so you'd sell your current neon and buy a whole new one?

since you have the $$ to do that, why not just get a srt4?

Those look cool, Dodge should have done that to begin with on the 2nd or 3rd year of the second gen Neons. Buy what you like, not what everyone else likes. You have to pay for it and drive it, not them.

personally...if it wasnt for the turbo/motor numbers i would never drive a regular neon. In fact the main reason i got the srt-4 is i needed to get out of a reg cab ram for my girlfriends child and have 4 doors and couldnt afford anything else...to be dumped a few weekes later. (kill x...check)

It just happens to be that the srt-4 can hold its own and is earning repsect. I would get something else before i got a knock off of a car in any brand. kinda like buying a 6cyl mustang or camaro= poser but..its your money bro. dodge has a serious problem with making knock offs of thier high performance vehicles. Just save up and buy a srt-4

well this would mean that the srt is a knock off of a neon.
i wish people just realise that you are driving neons

 

[myfault]

all you losers drive NEONS :gay:

LOSERS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[srt4turbo04]

a knock off of a performance car is what i was going for....no shit its a neon. Thanks for the revalation captain obvious.

The srt package on a regular neon is like a lambo kit on a feiro. or like i said..a muscle car made with a POS 6cyl motor. i dont think the srt is trying to be a a n/a neon in disguise is it? Dodge is doing it with the rams as well. Every new ram on the road now looks like the srt-10. They all have the hoods...wings..body kit. Seeing a srt-10 is no big deal anymore becuase dodge is offering it all on a reg ram. Now there doing it to the srt-4.

 

[Ray00]

dude it looks nothing like an srt-4, it looks like all the other dodge vehicles cross front end.

i thought these neons with the appearance package cost only a grand less than the actual srt. so the only reason id see anyone getting it would be maybe for insurance purposes.......if i was spending that much money on a neon, id pay the extra grand and get the srt......but thats just me....

 

[Krimsrt4]

Better for us, I rather have more better looking Neons than the normal rental style which some people think SRT4 might look like.

 

[themann42]

Thanks for all the responses guys. I figured there would be a lot more hating on the Neon with the appearance package.

I must clarify my situation though... The reason I'm getting a new Neon, and not an SRT-4, is because I do a yearly lease. It's through my Dad who works at the Chrysler Headquarters, and so I get Neons dirt cheap. However, they won't let you lease an SRT-4 with the rates my Dad gets. That leaves me with no option except a neon since I can't afford anything else.

This means I want the best neon, Which was an R/T. But what I've heard is that now they're abolishing the R/T for this version, and I was wondering if anybody here thought that It'd be ripping off the SRT. I don't think it would really affect my situation though.

About the release of this car, I have no Idea. I got the pics from the Canadian website, making me assume they're released there. But I heard they're doing the same thing in the US for 05 too.

The regular SXT needed a front-end upgrade. This version does look way better. Get it and enjoy it (I bet you get a KILLER deal with your Dad's discount - I have an uncle who used to be a higher-up with Chrysler, and was hoping to get the employee deal on the SRT-4 - but no deal on SRTs. So get what you can afford!).

Everyone buys a car for their own reasons - listen to all the support and get what makes you happy.

na, go ahead and get it man...

how can i hate you? i dont even know you !
