    A Christmas Present From Chrysler, Production Of The Caliber Ends

    On Christmas Eve, Chrysler made the announcement that production of the Dodge Caliber has ended to make way for the new Dart.

    Introduced back in 2006, the Caliber would replace the long running Neon. But the Caliber got a lot of negative press due to lack-luster driving dynamics and a cheap plastic interior.

    The Caliber's replacement, Dart will makes it's first appearance at next month's Detroit Auto Show. Analysts believe the Dart will be more successful than the Caliber.

    I should have loved the Caliber--a smallish wagon with a reasonable price--but the thing never really tripped my trigger. The cheap interior was a turn-off, as was the too-high beltline. Even if I barber-chaired the seat up until my dome was rubbing the headliner, I still felt claustrophobic inside of the Caliber (though not so much with the Jeep Compass, for some reason). I have high hopes for the Dart.

    I wonder when the Patriot goes out of production, and if Compass/Patriot production will be ramped up at Belvidere with Caliber's death before the changeover to the new Fiat-based small Jeep.

    i never thought the exterior was too bad. never liked the interior looked like it came from walmart. but everyone always said it was ugly i never thought so. you want ugly take a look at the nitro, dont know what it is the squared off headlights. the strange front end. but the car makes me want to vomit. which is strange because it is supposed to be a Jeepish type of car. and i love jeep. but i am super stoked for the Dart and i agree an srt edition is needed and double on the Demon package.

    I spoke to ppl who own one of the three, and I read all of the owner reviews @ Edmunds, and I went on bespoke forums before making my purchasing decision. Everyone seems to get excellent wear out of these.

    • I say, let it get worse.  The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for.  He even got the popular vote.  Therefore the people of America have spoken.   This is what they want.  This is what they feel comfortable with.   But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power.  Fool me once,  shame on you!  Fool me twice, shame on me?   Technically this is how that saying goes.  But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem.   Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems.   I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems.  And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ.   Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.

    • Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood.  I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed.  And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good.  Not for the US and not good for Canada.  But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better?  I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election.  I wonder if those  people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly?    You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him.  With the excemption of the rich of course)     Donnie Rides Again
    • For Apple Users, if you have been thinking of a new iPhone, laptop, etc. you might want to consider buying before President 47 takes office. Tim Cook is going to have a headache if the 60% Tariff is put in place on Chinese goods. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/apple-s-tim-cook-is-going-to-have-a-headache-on-his-hands-if-donald-trump-follows-through-on-tariffs-this-time-around/ar-AA1tHffz?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=3b1a78ed0bd4445b8ca292e4aeb8cc1a&ei=53
