Look out for the new neon...

I just read that the new neon will be turbocharged and have something like 215hp. I am not one for neons or dodge cars in general, but MAN is that some juice from a 2.0L engine. I don't know if it will be fast or not, but I thought I would share.

It will be interesting to see how it all works out with the SXT Neon. After all, Dodge isn't known for their reliable transmissions.

neons look gay. even if they make them fast, they are still ugly.

i looked @ neons befor i got a civic. you can only get it in a sedan now no more coupes. and you can't get rear power windows, even on the rt trim package. they cut corners everywhere on that car. the transmission has a shelf life on 60,000 miles.
it will be a horribly ugly and undependable 215 hp krap box
