I'm telling you guys. Bitter Neonite. Period.


At the most, I think it looks somewhat similar to the Malibu Maxx:


Caliber:

Hmm here are the 3 together...sure the Focus does have a slight similarity, but the VIBE gets the win in my book!

Hell, the other day I was at my parents house and the Caliber commercial came on. My dad and uncle thought it was a Vibe commercial; til they saw the end. They liked the car!

they do kinda look the same don't they? I don't know why dodge would design after pontiacs, which are the most incredibly worthless peices of crap on the road except for Hyundai and Kia. Maybe it's a coincedence.

Sinan and Nicko....and the rest of you are missing what I'm saying...... this is basically a Ford Focus with a Dodge Magnum styled front end.

Slap on the Magnum styled dog house and voila you have a Caliber....

This is the front view....picture courtesy of 03NeonRT

Now here's the two side views...

The biggest difference in the two vehicles are three things cosmetically

1. Bigger flares on the wheel wells - similar to the Magnum
2. Blockier front end on the Caliber - rounded on the Focus - again, similar to the Magnum
3. Larger stock wheels

Otherwise, everything has a SIMILAR line....and the Focus was out before all of the rest of the Pontiac Vibe's and the Mazda whatever...
