I think the Caliber SRT-4 looks excellent, but I would never get one without AWD.

The Dodge Hornet was one of the best-looking concepts that Chrysler has produced the past few years
That Hornet thing looks like the illegitimate love child of an AMC Pinto, a Scion Xb, and a Dodge Nitro.

The interior is typical Dodge craptastic plastic! Seriously when will they listen to consumers and quit making interiors completely out of the same crappy, cheap, and boring plastic materials. For the price of Dodge vehicles we should be able to get an interior thats not made completely of plastic.

well what are they supposed to make the interiors out of now days? All the damn pinko enviormentalists wont let them use any of the good old stuff like cows hides and wood, thats why we have poly cloth seats and soy bean foam cushioning for gods sake. And heaven forbid they put too much real metal trim in there because then it might become a safety hazard. Plastic is all we got left. Just be thankful they are still letting them make cars with at least some steel and not all aluminum so we dont actually drive around in real beer can cars.

Most car companies use cheap plastic... Dodge isn't BMW...

I know, right. After all who is he to complain when he drives one of the most craptastically plasticly designed interiors to begin with! Besides with the advancement in the types of plastics used today, chances are that wonderful interior will far outlive the exterior anyway... HA

well except for the upper dash panel, that will still crack and break for sure! LOL

To us they're a luxury manufacturer, but in Europe a BMW is a standard. Changing our ways to have a higher standard would be better.

Hey now I am a Dodge guy through and through but seriously you guys can't say that you don't agree that Dodge could be doind a little bit better. They could use a bit of leather, vinyl, or they could actually pad some of the interior. I love my Dakota but I hate the plastic, the armrest on the door is only an armrest if you enjoy having indentations on your arms from the inside handle. I mean I honestly believe the dash and the door panels and everything are all made of plastic.

If anything me owning a Dakota despite the fact that I hate the plastic interior only shows how loyal I am to Dodge. I could just as easily of spent my money on a Silverado, or an F150 or something with a little bit better quality interiors but I did not because I hate Ford, I am not that big on Chevy and I love Dodge.

Chrysler needs to start putting out higher quality, they need to do something anyways to get people to seriously start buying or they might not exist sometime down the road.
