No, but it was overpriced and sales were terrible on them. Why would they keep it around if it doesn't sell good? Toyota's smarter then that.

Overpriced is a understatement, and i bet anyone that the new supra if its ever released will be the same way.

If the noen srt-4 was so good tell me why did they have a two year life span? The toyota supra lifespan way longer then two years, The first Toyota Supra/Celica (both was the same) was launch in 1979 and In 1998, Toyota ceased sales of the Supra in the United States and in 2002 Toyota officially stopped production of the Supra in Japan.

They stopped making the Neon SRT4 because they dont make the Neon anymore. It was replaced by the Caliber and Caliber SRT4.

The lack of sales dosn't make a bad car. Why did Chevy stop making the Camaro? Lack of intrest mabey, but not because it was bad car.

they stopped selling them for multiple reasons. killerxromances and I was talking about the reasons why they stop making them. the life span was running out, a ton of people went back to dodge for repairs which was causing the profits of the car to be minimal . not to mention the new competition for the neon made sells drop for the last production year. the Neon SRT-4 was suppose to save the Neon. the Neon SRT-4 was the last attempt at dodge to get back in the game. but with all the problems owners had that factory covered, their profits didn't make up for production for all the repairs that was done to the cars. That was hurting their profits. not to mention resell is horrible on them, so not many people wanted to bother repairing them so they just sold them and told everyone to stay away.

I never said it was a good car. The original ones were crap in every way. They newer ones were much better although still not that good. The PL platform was near the end of its life. If DCX was smarter they wouldnt have waited until the end of the platform life to decide to bring out a higher performance car on this platform. End the end it was replaced by a new better platform which cost less than trying to upgrade a 10 year old one into something competitive.
