I do like the Calibre of the "Caliber!!  "........just the shot inna dark Chrysler needs.The design is mini Pacifica meets Volvo in "some ways" quite classy yet rugged (Saf is wearing his Designer guys HAT this A.M  ). The price of $13K is Fab nay brilliant and the drapes match the carpet...I'm SOLD.....  . "mazing wot U can DO wif a NEON....see the LITE......... |

Now if they can only get the build quality/reliability they have in the PT Cruiser. |

 If they get this right, and keep pricing reasonable, it should be quite a success, both here and abroad... |

I thought it was ugly when I first saw pics, but now that I am seeing more and more, it doesn't look too bad. I'll reserve final judgement for when I see it in person. |

I agree about the grill being very ugly. The whole vehicle is ugly based upon the pictures IMO.  |

Weren't there rumors saying that the Caliber would be offered with the TDI engine from VW? |

If they were true then it would make the Caliber a lot more interesting |

I like the look of the Caliber - it's aggressive, bold, muscular. It does look more like a truck than a car, but I for one don't mind. I can't wait to see it in person. Anyone know when it'll hit the showroom?
Back to the car...
Three engines seems a bit much, especcially three four-bangers. With what the competition offers, the base engine should be adequete - I can see offering the 1.8 and 2.4, but three? *shrug*
The absence of a manual tranny kills it for me. Give me that, and this car would be worth some serious consideration, I think. |

Hey Demo is does offer a manual transmission....but if ur looking at an AWD vehicle it will prolly be suited with the auto tranny... |

Okay. I didn't see any mention of a manual, but if they offer it great. AWD is nice, but not by any means a neccessity - especially since Victoria doesn't get snow.
I'll be taking a close look at this car when it comes out, in this case. Thanks. |
