SRT-4 coming to the land of the free and the frozen?

Anybody have any links to any articles or news items that gives a definitive date about whether or not the SRT-4 is coming to Canada? I've spoken to several dealers now, and besides the fact that, in true form, most of them don't know what the hell I'm talking about, the only answers I've heard other than "Huh? Is that a new Volkswagen?" is "Not coming" and "Maybe summer". Not a peep on the Canadian Dodge site, and nothing on the corporate site either.

I've found some ruminations around various forums and sites around the net, but nobody seems to know. Just thought I'd ask here.

EDIT - I lied. Found this.... on_SRT_forums but still.... any feedback from some p33ps that have slid their butt behind the wheel would be appreciated.

I'm curious to see what it drives like. I've driven the WRX and other nausiatingly fast cars ('98 Viper) and I'm kinda curious as to how fast Dodge can accelerate the collection of tupperwear and plastic that makes up the Neon. I know that comment in itself will set me alight in these hallowed forums, but I thought I'd be a smartass for a second.

Mmmmm.... tupperwear....... Element.......

It is. When? I dont know. Why? Because I dont live in Canada and therefore dont care.

GOOGLE IT UP!

lol tupperwear. That EXACTLY what it looks like, that thing is ugly as hell. I dont care how fast you made that thing, girls would laugh at me. Plus the reliability of previous years neons was VERY poor, so imagine taking a poor design and turboing it? Also I would never buy the first year of a new car, they generally tend to work out bugs by the second year. Id stay clear of this one for a while, assuming you dont like visiting the dealerships often.

I sat in one at the Detroit auto show, and found the interior to be among the worst of any new car I've ever been in. It needs a lot of work.

As for not buying the first year of the production run, I learned that lesson with this car, being an 01 civic driver.
