Perhaps you haven't seen the Pontiac Vibe, or it's sibling the Toyota Matrix. The Caliber is a DIRECT ripoff of these 2. The question is why? Pontiac and Toyota are not selling a ton of these. Why compete in a market where no one is watching? Did the world need another Edgy for the Sake of Edgy Crossover Sport Utility Sub Compact Soccer Mom Transport Weekend Camper Grocery Store Hauler? I stand by my first impressions. It's ugly, butt fugly. The CVT is unrefined at best. The standard engine is barely adequate, and even the 300hp SRT version makes it no more appealing.....Swing and a miss!
