The sales numbers say more about this vehicle than I ever could.

What a lie, it has been decried as crude and unsophisticated in the UK press and I have yet to see a single one on the road. 1000 a month is not a huge hit. The European car market is as large as the US car market and 1000 a month in the US would not be called a huge hit. The Caliber may not have incentives but its being sold at giveaway no-profit pricing.

This car is **** whatever you say 1952 MG TD. Like the French are buying American cars in huge numbers at the moment. This is spin to a degree that is almost lying.

Without sales numbers of comparable models in this segment it makes little sense and so do the above comments without those numbers.

Ford FOcus sells 12000 a month in the UK alone

VW Golf Sells 570,000 in Europe per year, approx 50000 per month. Kinda puts Caliber sales in perspective

Keep it all in context. As the article says, Dodge sold 311 total cars in 2005, and now they have moved over 3K Calibers in only three months. So its not an overall hit, but rather a hit for Dodge. The car certainly has low grade materials but it’s a type of design (tidy little hatch) that Europeans discovered long ago works great.

I love it! There will be 110 posts from all the haters!! Keep putting up stories on the Caliber LLN cause I love seeing these idiots get all worked up over nothing.

what ever floats your boat. but the design is way to busy for my liking and the interior feels like a childs toy

The French buy them….what a ringing endorsement! Cheese eating surrender monkeys!

Anonymous you are right, the Caliber really is nothing

Caliber is a Fugly small mini-van. I can’t believe people are buying that POS. Even with 300hp it’s still FWD and has a high center of gravity like a mini-suv…what a joke.

It may not be to everyone’s liking (and it doesn’t have to be), but it’s driving sales, and that is a good thing. Go Dodge Go!

The real title of this article “Dodge Caliber, **** Overseas”

1c3d0g why don’t you and 1952 MG TD enter into a polygamous relationship with DCX?

Priapism, are you trying to be funny? Because you’re failing at it, miserably. Chrysler 0wns your imported ass, so shut it.

One more reason why it’s great to be an American. You never have to worry about being jealous about all these petty bastards.

Thats exactly why you should worry Fatstrat, worrying about the competition makes you better. Thats why GM and Ford are in so much trouble and Chrysler is owned by Europeans and AMerican tourists are in such danger abroad

Get back to bible class you ignorant hick Fartstat

eurotrash deserve that ****!

Bring back Aries and Reliant please. I miss my boyfriends Le Baron

^^^ asshat^^^^

me likey da caliber

Oh no!!, the Europeans don’t like us, quick, drop everything and be more like them. Grab a diesel hatchback, some techno music and some scat porn!!! My god, they’re so powerful and scary, we can’t make them mad or they’ll be rude to our tourists! Think of the economic damage if they don’t buy our $10,000 hatchbacks!!

Yo gotta get my azz in dem Dodge showroom for to get me ma azz in uh Caliber, touch my fro. But I’d rather be on my back eating mah chicken wings

I have never liked the car

2006330c you forget Chrysler is European owned Duh!

While its good for Dodge to improve sales overseas (however large that increase maybe) blindless devotion doesn’t help them either, after a while (or already have) these companies will just stop innovating because “people will buy it anyway” which in turn makes the car uncompetive overseas.
Saying that people oversea’s are stupid because they don’t like it is also kind of moronic, they buy cars just like you do and if anything the market is more competive.

Aston martin Volvo and Mazda are American owned, does that make them American? No. DCX makes RWD V8 chrome covered sedans, they make the most American cars of all.

I thought I found an adult website only to find a bunch of teenagers trashing each other. Can someone recommend a good automotive site where people can express their opinion without using profanity or at least have an educated response?

Strangebre, I am well educated, unlike those other insults to mankind using profanity, I would like to express a plethora of car information and all I get is lip and cursing directed towards me!

311 in a whole year, and 3200 in a quarter. I think that qualifys as somewhat of a hit, considering itll estimate out to about 12,000 cars a year, which may not seem like alot now, but Dodge is to Europe as Suzuki Cars is to America. If Suzuki sells 12,000 of one of their models in the American market its considered a hit.

A4, I live in Long Island and I see Suzukis everywhere. I heard there are even more in Cali then Long Island! I think they make more than 12,000 units.

they make more than 12,000 units, but they spread them out across different models. Their sales figures are not all that high in America.

theyre starting to grow very recently, but look at them 2-4 years ago and they were most definatly in the ****ter

and the Ford Focus sells “12,000 a month” in the UK because the Euro version actually isnt a huge honking piece of metallic horse**** like the american Focus is.

The suzuki esteem barely sold any in new york, I have only seen one.

Ok, take this into thought:
Caliber sales- 3,280
Ford Focus- 12,500
VW Golf- 50,000~

I just did some research on my own, noticing a few of you like to compare these three. Caliber sales are low, so yes they are a succsess for the amount of models being made. Dodge is not extremely succsessful in Europe, so these are actually pretty good sale numbers.

I believe I will stop posting if LLN doesn’t get a registration system and block a few people, as I cannot stop laughing at the comedious comments on this site (the “asshats”). We can’t forget, this is a GM site and I believe some of you should do the same, as our knowledge is not put to good use commenting with a bunch of three year olds.

I’m surprised they’ve sold any in Europe or here with as ugly as that thing is.

Every time I see one on the road I have look away to avoid losing my lunch. The caliber is on par with the AZTEK in the ugly department.

Outside nice…inside crap…dynamics bad…seen here in Hamburg…just one.

All these comments about the US auto industry (mostly by 12 year olds between episodes of what ever happens to be hip on Nickelodeon this month) are funny. I suppose GBR has a great industry don’t they? Now the rally cry is about ‘European’ automobiles. You need the whole continent to put together an industry. If it weren’t for Germany, there wouldn’t be any ‘British’ cars.
