Dodge Caliber Concept

| Wrap-Up |

 |
Thankfully, compact cars are now available in all flavors and colors, from mundane tan sedans with tan seats to flamboyant six-speed sport wagons. Depending on your poison, you're covered from I-95 to Pike's Peak. But none of them demand your respect, and few look like a grown up in a kid-sized package. The introduction of the Dodge Caliber concept is analogous to that new kid who showed up in sixth grade - the girls whispered as he walked by, teachers thought he looked like trouble, and the boys suddenly realized they weren't too cool for school after all. So, to all of the compact car guys - watch out - there might be a new kid coming to class.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
