Talk about total transformations! Dodge’s all-new Caliber replaces the Neon in the Daimler-Chrysler division’s lineup and the two vehicles could hardly be more different from each other.

The Neon was “cute” – remember the headlights? – where the Caliber means to grab your eyeballs and then not let go until you shout uncle. The Neon was an econo-car that happened to be fun and practical. Caliber is something new – station wagon, mini-SUV, something else maybe.
