My biggest concern is that the trunk looks tiny.

yeah but did you see the storage compartments under the front seats? i mean its no "throw your golf clubs in the back and let's hit the greens" kind of car but i'm sure it will be very functional for an 18 yr old to throw all his stuff in and head off to college

I do like that, don't know why more cars don't have that little storage bin.

i wonder if that storage compartment affects the comfort of the seat. i wouldn't think so since the seat still looks thick

It has one problem !! It looks exactly the same as a whole heap of other cars out there . The Caliber may not have been the best cookie in the jar ...but at least it was different & individual .......


Not a lot of difference from the Chevy Cruze !! Yea we get the Cruze in UK ..& that doesnt sell either !!

well it may look a bit like the Cruze (or the Focus) but there are TONS of differences

for one, there are only 2 engines on the Cruze, a 1.8 and a 1.4 turbo and both only make 138hp, the Dart wins

the base model Dart is 15,995. the Cruze base is 16,800, the Dart wins

150 Mopar accessories for the Dart, doubt there will be that many for the Cruze, the Dart wins

etc, etc

The looks that are the same are just the basic shape. and how many shapes are their to choose from? when it comes down to it majority of the people want a sleek slim looking car that looks rounded and exotic in the front. even though exotic is becoming the regular look it still has a different looks to it. also dont the seats in the back fold down? so you can get the clubs in the trunk?

I just got back from the NAIAS in detroit. and unfortuneately the auto show did no do the car justice. they didnt have any open for people to sit in or look at. they had all the cars locked. they did have one that was a partial cut away but they didnt have the storage compartments open. and they didnt have trunk open. and i agree with the 18-20 year olds comment. I am 20 years old and after finishing school just starting out life with the low pay scales us younger ones get this car seems like the perfect match. I was looking and pricing an SRT8 charger becuasse we all love horsepower and power but when reality sits in us 20 years cant afford all the high payments gas money and insurance when it comes down to it and still have the fun filled life style that we try and live with as it is. so this is the best way for us to keep both of what we want
