Chrysler’s Let’s Refuel America campaign may not be increasing the automaker’s sales figures, but that’s not stopping Chrysler from extending the program on most Dodge vehicles. From now until the end of June, Dodge will be offering increased incentives on most its vehicles — with the largest incentives being placed on the company’s thirstiest vehicles.
In addition to cash back or the Let’s Refuel America deal, Dodge will be offering both incentive programs on some of its V8-powered vehicles. The biggest deals can be had on the Dodge Ram, with customers able to choose from as much as $5,000 cash back or $3,000 cash back and the Let’s Refuel America gas card. Durango buyers can choose from a similar scheme, with the gas card coming with $1,000 cash back.
Almost any Dodge vehicle powered by a V8 will see some combination of cash back and the $2.99 gas guarantee.
Dodge’s smallest vehicle, the Caliber, is only available with $750 cash back.

Instead of refilling America, why don’t they use the money to speed up development of the Phoenix V6 engines and make better interiors.

They should have just completely redone the Neon instead of the crappy caliber. Stick the neon with a cool looking & aggressive look w/a sweet interior, the option of an eco-friendly engine, mid-pack engine, & a sweet R/T option (obviously SRT would follow) and it would still be a popular little car. The caliber is hardly a “replacement” for the neon. IT sucks…

Jigs, I am Honda fan, but I don’t think engines are Chrysler Achilles’ heel: they just released 3 variations of 4 cylinder engine (1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 L) and I haven’t read any horror stories. Also, those are the same engines as Mitsubishi and Hyundai are using in their cars. Engines are not the issue here: lack of cars utilizing those engines is a problem.

They are the same engines as used by Hyundai and Mitsu because all three developed them together, but Chrysler has horrible V6 engines and they did not tune the inline 4s for the most fuel efficiency.

JoshyLofty & autonut: the Chrysler ‘world’ engines are good power plants. The DOHC 2.0 in my ‘95 Neon puts out 150 horse. The 1.8 in the Caliber puts out 148 (too bad other than the SRT it’s the only one available with a manual) so output is not the issue. I to am baffled why they didn’t keep the Neon name. In Canada they even changed the name to SX 2.0 from ‘03 on. I’m going to play my broken record one more time, but why can’t Detroit get it though their thick sculls that by changing the ident of what is essentially the same car it replaces all you’re doing is confusing your customers. C’mon: Civic, Corolla etc, etc, etc…

I like small cars. Chrysler doesn’t have what I would call a small car(I did get a Neon, right before they got rid of them,for a rental..not bad. 33 MPG, and felt fairly quick. Was acceptable handling, noise, nvh…etc..).
Hmmm… a 3 door might have been interesting(Neon, updated).
The 2 door hard top coupe PT thing they had at the autoshows a few years ago had a lot of people checking it out…too bad they did not see a reason to build something like it, or the Hornet.
They need a small vehicle(car-like) asap.
Someone said a Nissan Versa may become a Dodge next year?
The Versa is tolerable to drive(CVT).
Decent MPG(33-35?). Price isn’t too horrendous.
Maybe Chrysler can do something with it?

The platform is the Versa, but the sheetmetal and pretty much everything else will be Chrysler exclusive.

Chrysler always had a good studio (design). I don’t know what left of it after all the tribulations company went through, but if they still have some talent, Versa/Megane can be a decent ride if they can improve on the theme. If Chrysler will build it themselves they may even get a better car – Versa, I believe, is made in Mexico, so it is not difficult to improve the quality.

I thought the Chrysler designed version was going to be built in Japan?

whats wrong with live axle?? it works fine, and less wear components.

Live axle is old, and has other issues, that is why Ford is finally working on a new rwd platform to finally replace the Mustang’s old one, and to underpin a replacment for the Crown Vic, and Town Car (but will likely use EcoBoost engines to ensure high mpg).

You took the words right outta my mouth! When I saw the crapliber I couldn’t understand what they were thinking. It’s just ugly! How could they go from the Neon SRT 4 to that??? Would have been much better to work with what they had instead of tossing the baby with the bath water.
