Gee, who wants to bet that this is over-reaction against the "Hi!" campaign of the Neon.

I know, they're over-compensating for the overly-cute Neon by making an intentionally ugly replacement.

The Neon was cute.... the Caliber is just dumb. You'd think it was made by GM.

Up yours, Eatspam. The neon might have been cute for the under 100 IQ crowd. GM makes average looking vehicles with decent drive trains. I challenge you to find a Neon that hit 180,000 miles and towing doesn't count.

Why are you bashing Chrysler...is it because of Ze Germans?

Woah, temper there buddy. No need to get worked up over a post on the Internets.

I actually own 2 GM vehicles, but I'm finding less and less of their product line that I can stomach. I was going to buy one of their minivan rebadges until they ruined them by making them look like SUVs. Those things are so hideous that I'm not even bothering to check if they fixed some of the problems with the Chevy Venture, like the 100lb seats. Mazda5, here I come!

um... the Venture was a death trap. with the new Uplanders they added more crumple zones to the front, and it gave them 5 star front impact, and the interior is light years ahead of what WAS the venture, its still not the best, nor near it though.

I'm glad they made the vehicles safer, but did they really have to uglify them in the process? I'd gladly take the interior and safety improvements if they left the exterior alone.

Looks like it could be a good car. But to be that it'd have to be much better built than the Caravans my family has had.
