I think the Caliber is a decent vehicle but I want to know what the Sedan/Hatchback verison will look like. I've heard rumors that it may be called Rebel. Sign me up for the SRT-4 version!

It looks like the Mercedes influence is really starting to take hold. I have never seen Dodge do a more "Euopean Style" car than this one. Especially the back end... What do you all think?

Nice Car! (note sarcastic tone)

Looks like a cross between the Concept Avenger and a Malibu MAX doesn't it?

Wow! That car looks totally awesome. It kinda looks like the Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe, but much better. I would get one of those in a heart beat. Man, that car is beautiful! A nice piece of engineering. Extremely nice.

I think it's a nice design and should offer a bit more versatility to a smaller car. I always thought the folddown rear seat was useless in my 2001 Neon. At least for what I wanted to put in it. This design would definitely be better. I like the loks too.

Someone thought that it will replace the PT cruiser. It think not. Chrysler Screwed up when they came out with the PT Cruiser in the Chrysler name. They got a lot of Dodge dealers made at them. They also wanted something new on the line. Now it looks like they have found it. Something different and good looking. Now have they learned about pricing .It took them 5 years to lower the price on the PT . Will Dodge be any smarter.? Time will Tell.When the PT first came out Chrysler wanted to charge $30,000 for the PT Lucky for Chrysler that they dorpped it down to the low twenty's. I also think that the Neon will be around for a few more years ,or until these one get's it's tire's wet first.
