Looks like that last picture is right before it gets stuck. Not the first image you want to the world of your new offroader. lol

If there was ever a compact car platform, I think it was eaten by that beastly ugly SUV that now sits on it

wait til you see another dodge production vehicle... ugly as sin, and im sure it'll be at the auto show...

it looks like its based on the R class, as its proportions are the same, and its basically a MPV... perhaps to get more sales from the falling mini-van market?

no, its front end looks like its closer to the mercedes front end, with dodge badging... not like that charger nose so much.

which one are we talking about now, the caliber? which looks like an undersized durango (also hideous looking). i dont think there are ANY good looking dodges these days, except MAYBE the charger.
