Exactly what is wrong with this car? It's not only nice, but it's quick too.

Maybe you're just jealous of turbos.

Hey, give them props for putting a turbo under the hood. I'm not saying I'd buy one, it's a Dodge for Christ's sake but, it'll still whoop you in a race.

I think it looks pretty good and the power is unbeleivable... maybe honda will come out with something to compete...
Cool car.. the rear end sits WAY too high though... just like our cars

slick will become famous soon enoughslick will become famous soon enough
the rims and spoiler aren't that great looking, and i was never really fond of the looks of the neon, but 215hp turbo'd and less than 6 sec 0-60 is pretty darn good. bash dogde all you want, its a good company. my dad still has his 1993 dodge grand caravan le, nearly 10 years old and 115k miles, and its still running great, no engine problems, no tranny problems, its a good vehicle. for a car that gives an rsx-s a real run for its money, we shouldn't call it lame.

p.s. - no, i wouldn't buy it, i dont like the looks of the neon, i doubt i ever will, but if dodge puts a turbo in the stratus, i would consider it, thats a nice looking car.

Nothing wrong with 215 hp. Not to mention I think it is one of the nicest looking Neons to date.

I was gettin ready to flame when I heard a neon turbo charged... But actually it looks kinda sophisticated, reminds me of the new beetle from the front a bit. Better deal than an SI that's for sure.

You know, all you people who bash it cus' its a Neon. Do you realize how many people bash people with Civics for putting performance mods on them? Yes, you half-wittingly tell yourselves that its an econobox car, but then you treat it as though its not. ...Then you laugh at Neon owners for doing the same exact thing.

I think many follow a double standard here. Neon = econobox. Civic = econobox. To condone some econoboxes for having performance mods while having your own econobox with mods on it makes no sense.

I don't see why there's a need to flame that neon. Its tastefully done, and its faster than your car. If you're going to bash it cus' its a Neon, perhaps you should look at your own car and realize its a ULEV Civic.

I HATE NEONS...but that car isn't a Neon...it's an SRT-4...yeah...

Actually, I think I'd take one, just for the "bang for your buck" factor. Then again, I could get a chipped GTI 1.8T and not have to deal with all the Neon jokes .

(The SRT-4 is gonna go for $19,000, right?)
