Comments on: Dodge Caliber a hit overseas http://www.leftlanenews.com/dodge-caliber-a-hit-overseas.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Fatstrat http://www.leftlanenews.com/dodge-caliber-a-hit-overseas.html#comment-266448 Fatstrat Thu, 07 Sep 2006 20:17:26 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/09/06/dodge-caliber-a-hit-overseas/#comment-266448 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.

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.

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. Ok, take this into thought:

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. 311 in a whole year, and 3200 in a quarter.

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. 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.
