According to dealer documents obtained by Allpar, the Caliber will go out of production on November 23 at Chrysler's fairly busy Belvidere, Illinois, assembly plant - the same facility that also builds its relatively hot-selling Jeep Patriot and Compass models.
Its replacement won't bear the same name when it debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Using largely Fiat-supplied technology, powertrains and platforms, the next-generation compact Chryslers will need to be built in the U.S. and achieve at least 40 mpg in order to satisfy a requirement set out during the federal government's bailout of Chrysler in 2009.
