Dodge Caliber

Product Knowledge
Dodge has a hit on its hands.
Whether it's because consumers are looking for cars with great fuel economy, or because it's just a really cool vehicle with a lot of versatility, or a combination of the two, the all-new, 2007 Caliber is selling briskly.
In fact, this new compact wagon is so popular that dealers are having a hard time keeping them in stock, and Chrysler can't build them fast enough.
That's a good position for an automaker to be in these days, particularly one of the so-called U.S. Big Three.
Introduced in March, the Caliber replaces the Neon compact sedan in the Dodge lineup, although there never was a Neon wagon and this new car has absolutely nothing in common with the plain and simple Neon.
In the first place, the Caliber has curb appeal, something that always eluded the Neon. Add to that a starting price under $14,000 and EPA fuel-economy ratings of up to 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 on the highway, and you have a formula for instant success.
