"Dodge Caliber is not your typical C-segment car," said Thomas Hausch, Executive Director - International Sales and Marketing, Chrysler Group. "The all-new Dodge Caliber combines crossover styling with space-efficient packaging, interior flexibility, innovative features and affordable performance. Caliber allows owners around the globe to be active, do more and stand out - to live life to the fullest, and do so with the most horsepower per Euro under the hood."

Regarding the major volume markets in Western Europe, Hausch added, "There's not a competitor in Europe in the C-segment five-door hatchback market with the same or higher powered engines that can beat the price of Dodge Caliber." The new Caliber is priced approximately 10 percent below equally equipped competitors in key European markets.

Dodge Caliber starts to arrive in markets outside of North America in the second quarter of 2006.
