Looks better than the current Neon's, I think. The question is - what will it have under the hood?

That looks extremely good. I'm not a fan of compact cars, but I would give that one a serious look based on the styling alone. Light years better than the Neon.

You may not like Dodge styling, but all of their new stuff looks very unique.

So they aren't making a 4-door sedan ecobox anymore?

Looks good though for what it is..should be a PT Cruiser replacement.

Yup. Looks like something aimed at the Escape and Equinox.

So, is the automotive industry going away from aerodynamics now?

Caliber will be shown at Geneva next month. This is the sport wagon version. There is a sedan, roadster, and a entry level SUV coming before 08.

The Dodge Nitro is a Liberty based mid-size SUV.
