Good to know. I was actually drooling over the concept of an R/T AWD
Caliber - and trying to figure where I could get .223 badging [you know,
small and fast...] Either that, or cutting up a ford 5.4 badge and
making a .45...

$23 grand seems like alot to spend for a dodge branded subaru... It
dosen't even come with the granola pocket....
