Bye Bye Neon...hello Caliber
The sexyness is gone, sorry Boon and James. This little baby will be replacing the Neon as Dodge becomes the wagon company. This will be sold in the US and Europe...cause we all know how Europe loves loud, truck like American compacts.
It is also built on the next gen Lancer platform. Looks lik the Magnum's mini-me, and I dont mean that in a good way.

Powertrain will be the 1.5 and 1.6 for Europe, and America it will have the 2.0 motor from DCX, Mitsu, and Hyundai.
Turbo model to probably come later.

i just read a SRT type version would have an SRT-4 type of motor. AWD would make that nice.
Looks like a big car/truck from really far away...

Chances are it will come in an AWD turbo 4 model in the future.
But it is still ugly as sin.

ugly, for a small car. it looks more like a mini SUV. They should do it as a sedan or coupe.

It looks odd, but I do like it better than the neon...as far as appearance goes.
