I wouldn't even complain.

Dodge had this wonderful era where every car of theirs looked like they had just messed around with play-dough and then stuck the same grill on whatever resulted.

Pros and cons.
The SRT8 looked half decent and had lots of power
The Nitro had the surprisingly torque filled 4.0 V6 option you couldn't get in the liberty.
The Avenger is um...wheels

The Dodge Avenger. It's better than walking!

300hp, front wheel drive, hatch...why the hell not. 300hp in a a car from that segment was killer. I mean, it's not pretty...but...

People hate on the Avenger a lot, but I have ridden in and driven them. Yeah, the quality of the materials won't blow you away, but it serves its purpose as being a safe and fairly simple means of transportation at a good price.

Finally, someone who understands the appeal of the Avenger.
Not to mention, cheap horsepower.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

The Caliber SRT4, while not my first choice in the category, is supposed to be an absolute torque-steering riot to drive.
The Dodge I would get as a Jeep Liberty, because although the Nitro looks better (yes, that hurt me to say), the Jeep can be had with that awesome sunroof:
The Avenger...just...no. Apart from particularly liking one, I can't think of an objective reason for owning one.

The Avenger is also cheap horsepower, and works perfectly as a DD.

The Nitro got a 4.0L V6 the Liberty didn't. As much as I like the sky-slider, more horsepower works better for me.
As for the Avenger, I'm not gonna go into it.

I see a ton of them around here. You can get one loaded with pretty cool stuff (Bluetooth, heated seats, etc.) and brand new for the same price as a six or seven-year-old Honda Accord with less equipment. Sure, people will argue that the Accord is a better car and blah blah blah, but who cares? For a Chrysler product, the Avengers have been rather reliable from what I have heard.

the 2011+ Avenger was passable, after the upgrades. The previous Daimlerized one was an incredible piece of junk.

I just looked it up, and wow. It's a 5ohp difference. I was expecting like 8. That is significant.

I'll pass on the SkySlider.

You are correct. I drove a 2009 Avenger SE with the V6 and it was quick, but each press of the accelerator made it feel like it was going to fall apart in addition to gaining some speed. I'd drive a 2014 R/T, though. Since the Avenger has now been discontinued (because people were buying it instead of the Dart), those can be found incredibly cheap.

It's a moot point for me, but yeah I'd probably take the Dodge.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I've driven an SRT4 Caliber and yes it is an absolute hoot.
