This new Concept is supposed to be the Neon's replacement. They don't look like comparable vehicles, but we will see what happens.

Huh... I knew they were phasing out the neons, but replacing them with this seems to be a bit odd. Non the less it looks like a very snazy small SUV.

Dodge has world in its sights with Caliber concept

Dodge’s designers were told to think global when penning the Caliber concept for the Geneva show. The sport-themed, five-door hatchback hints strongly at Chrysler’s future plans for a Dodge-branded C-segment vehicle, one of the most popular configurations outside of the U.S. market. The automaker is hoping Caliber’s aggressive appearance will help it stand out from the C-crowd and appeal to car buyers the world over.

Plenty of Dodge DNA is evident in Caliber’s design, most notably the brand’s signature crosshair grille. Wide, sculpted wheel arches, 19-inch wheels and tires and a pronounced hood lend the vehicle a powerful stance. Chrome door handles and body-side moldings accent Caliber's Sunburst Orange exterior.

“With its bold styling and clever packaging, Caliber is pure Dodge,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President—Design, Chrysler Group. “This concept is a new slant on one of the world’s most competitive segments. The Dodge Caliber concept brings emotion to the C-segment sea of sameness and strongly hints at the future direction of Dodge in the global car market.”

Chrysler says Dodge will begin selling vehicles in European volume segments in 2006. Something akin to the Caliber will likely lead the charge.

dodge is starting to make some gay shit....mabe it'll grow on me!

nope no it hasnt...lol

Man, that was a FAST decision!

i have to disagree with matt i think that dodge is bringing out some kick ass vehicles the magnum the srt-10 ram and we will see how the charger turns out and you have the love the cummings diesel but however they may be off beat with this Caliber

I hear dodge is changing their motto too...

"grab life by the horns.... and put it in our station wagons!"

i love the ram and dakota and magnum but i hate the darango and charger and calibur

Durango, thumbs down
Charger Daytone R/T, thumbs up
Caliber, still undecided

it seems as if everyone is tryin to push some really radical shit

it is pretty apparent to me even car manufacturers are confused by the consumers these days

well what sux is that the first ones to come out with it were sweet.....because they were unique...and different....and thats why i liked them..i was really never sold on but i liked them....now its like everything comin out has that kinda design and now its no different then the older cars

I'm kinda undecided...I'd rather drive one of those than the neon but i'm not a big fan of either...we'll see what happens

the main thing is though...when you decide to go with retro styling your flirting with disaster you will either make a sweet car or a completely ugly car
