Default Saw one

So, ummm, yeah, I saw one today in red. That car isn't a mini SUV. Compared to the cars in front of and behind it, they are tiny! The car behind it was a Nissan Altima and the car in front was...I forgot, but it was a compact car and the Caliber was/appeared smaller than them. It's a cool looking car, much better in person than in the pics or commercials. Anyway, thought I'd share my findings and opinion.

Thank you silvercoupe97...for both your findings and your opinion... Much appreciated!
They are a cool looking vehicle...I've always said that the Dodge Caliber was something you admire more in person......

Just curious [sm=smiley25.gif] were you intersted in purchasing?

Thank you silvercoupe97 for your reply...and Thank for your comments
Great to see Dodge impressed you with the Avenger [sm=smiley20.gif]

For those looking to see a Dodge Caliber, you can visit www.dodge.com, and perform a dealer inventory search, check out the dealership's in your area, and see if they have Calibers on their lots.
Hopefully a helpful hint

I saw two so far:

On Black SXT looked sweet as I "raced" to catch up to it. Black looks good in the rear view mirror too....

One White SXT also looked good, but not as good as the black one

Thats all, but have test drove 7 of them...[8D]

I'll admit I have been "under whelmed" by the photos of the Caliber...but I saw one today in the parking lot of a store...I loved it. From the front driver-side-angle - it looked awesome, 1000 times better than the neon (sorry neon owners - please don't take offense, just my humble opinion) I really wouldn't mind driving one!

Oh, it was a white SXT and I did see the Magnum family resemblance…

i'm sorry...but, i really don't understand why the caliber is still being compared to the neon...yes it "replaces" the neon...but, it is in fact nothing like or similar to the neon...it is in every aspect a totally different vehicle.
