If the Avenger had a 5sp stick available I would consider it. Before I bought my civic I was giving the avenger a good look over. I liked the mini-charger look of it, figured I could dress it up a bit and make it look cool, maybe do a mini-daytona/super bee package to it. The 2.4 put out decent power, but the outdated 4sp auto trans with no stick shifter available was a deal-breaker. The stick shifter in my civic shifts so sexy I just couldn't make myself go for an auto, even if it was a mopar. I know the caliber has stick available, but the looks of the caliber do nothing for me. However on the other hand if I would have waited another year for the SRT-4 version to come out, I might have choosen differently...

If fuel economy was not an issue, I would choose the magnum. I always loved the look of those cars. If you needed the milage, then the avenger. I don't care for calibers except for the SRT's.
