we finally start to get good engines and people bash the cars because of their slight lackluster appearance.. :smt017 I mean, the same people who bash this caliber really like the GTO.. another car that was hated for its lackluster appearance.

Once there are good engines in the "stables" they have more options with appearance later...

yah and thats why u have a camaro???? how can you call people out on being biased, i dont see you trading in the SS for one of these kinda cars. If you have ventured both sides SS/SRT you cant say anything about biases. this is a car enthusiast site, and im not enthused about this car y]y

I drive a cavalier... a big POS.. and no i didnt by it for its stunning good looks.

I definately want an SRT-4 Neon... and i will say they arent the best looking.. but i love the engine.

oh and BTW.. i dont expect people to love that car.. cause i agree.. it is lacking in the looks area.

When i was speaking of biases i was refering to the quote "anything fast with 4cyl. is rice"... that is just a blanket statement that shows ignorance for the automotive industry

i am an enthusiast of nice things. cars, bikes, boats whatever. its not an ignorant stand point from where i stand. i make my own classification of rice. if it doesnt fit your mold then i dont look at things the same way. its not a bias towards the automotive industry, its a bias towards what i feel is nice and what u feel is nice

sorry Dan O - you know I *heart* you man, but this car = :smt078 and it is made to appeal to the crowd who likes rice. not enthused at all... now the new challenger concept.... :smt045

Looks like an SRT4 got drunk and knocked up a Matrix. Definatly not my style of car and I wouldnt be caught dead in one, but of course its gonna sell especially since Ive heard they are gonna stop making the the Neon SRT4's. The Chrysler corp is really kicking ASS the last few years, I mean even Jeep made an SUV that could keep up or even beat alot of cars.

umm.. am i missing something.. those elises are marketed to be "fast" in the terms you speak of... It'll keep up with an LS1 in a straight line.. and kill it around the corners. (this is a great example of a fast 4cyl thats not rice... although it does have a toyota engine jay...)

oh.. and sport bikes generally get beat by quite a few cars in the corners...
