Seen on this afternoon, ugly. Dodge* is just producing pure junk. Durango being the ugliest on there line up. The caliber is just to big, and just looks cheap.

Everything thing they seem to come out with just seems cheap and made of cheap plastic. The fit and finish just isnt anywhere to be found in any of there cars. Well the viper is nice ill give them that.

I'll take an SRT-8, Magnum R/T, Ram SRT 10, or Challenger.  SRT-4 isn't bad if you can get over the Neon looks.

An '01 Focus certainly isn't the epitome of fit & finish... and anyway, who the F cares? The Caliber is an entry-level car that offers a lot of utility and features at a pretty damn good price. Who cares if the dash is soft?

I actually was rather shocked at how high the price tag is for such a cheap and tinny car. It has decent utility, but many of the so-called features were poorly designed. The car needed a design critic to weed out the blatant stupidites, the glove box/cooler/glove box being one of the worst.

I think the caliber looks terrible... especially the SRT-4 model that they're coming out with. it looks big and boxy. like a scaled down SUV. I honestly prefer the ugly neon srt4 to the caliber.

I agree about the Durango. Hideous. I'd go so far as to call it "Dodge's Aztec." As far as the Caliber, I'd take it in a second over the HHR.

Well I hate to break it to you, but that ugly mini-SUV runs 1/4 mile times in the high 13s in SRT-4 spec. It may be ugly, but it sure can move. ANYTHING that ugly that runs dead even with a newer Mach 1 and costs around 20K has my respect.
The funny part about the SRT-4 Caliber is that it is in the fine heritage of "ultimate sleeper" cars that DCX has produced over it's history. Anyone remember the Chrysler Turbovan? Think Eclipse GST with a Town and Country body on it.
