Dodge Caliber Concept: Press Kit and Pictures:
RE: Dodge Caliber Concept: Press Kit and Pictures:
I don't care much for AWD as I have a Durango R/T with AWD! Just don't have that same launch G-Force feel vs. Rear Wheel drive. Plus I like to chirp or smoke the rear wheels sometimes just for fun if this thing comes with a great performance engine to do it! I would favor a part time 4WD so I can switch over when needed!

The caliber is like the PT cruiser, Matrix/vibe, and mazda 3. The caliber is going to get the new world motors 1.8L & 2.0L for europe and 2.0L & 2.4L for US market. http://allpar.com/mopar/world-engine.html
As for a hemi in the caliber. Well if they can stuff a 426 hemi in a PT cruiser. Maybe someone can do the same to the caliber. All you need is $$$$$$$$$$$$.

DCX better not replace the Neon or the SRT-4

The caliber is suppose to be out a year or two before the rebel sedan makes it to market.
So the line up will be caliber, magnum, charger, durango, dakota, rams, and sprinter. The only car of the group is the charger. The caliber will probably be classified as a truck. Like the PT cruiser and magnum is classified as a truck. Do to flat floor loading like a van.
PT is more van like do to the rear seats come out and high roof line. I'm not sure how the magnum gets away with the truck classification. It's just a station wagon.

Nope, they won't replace the neon. They will just cancel it. Drop it from inventory.

April Motor Trend Article:
A New, Global Neon-Called Caliber
Even before the Daimler-Benz takeover, Chrysler sold Neons in a number of markets outside the U.S. But with DaimlerChrysler taking the Dodge brand to Europe, the 2006 Neon replacement, the Caliber, essentially becomes a world car. It's a good fit: The Caliber is a taller hatchback/wagon-style small car that tickles the edge of Europe's burgeoning multipurpose vehicle segment, and it also fits in with the Dodge wagon/Chrysler sedan strategy.
TALKING POINTS
Platform: Mitsubishi GS
Size: 60.4 inches tall; should have an easy step-in height.
Grille: Dodge crosshair in chrome; large headlamps and foglights.
Roof: Black graphic applique runs along roof into spoiler.
Engines: Most likely 166-horsepower 2.4-liter and possibly a 144-horsepower 2.0.
