Saw this on a trailer forum, no one could name it, thought that I would post it here to see if any FJ member knows. It looks sort of Ford-ish on the back end.???

Dodge Caliber ?

My thoughts as well - definitely looks like the Neon replacement to me.

yup right on the head...

not is caliber on the same platform as the Pontiac Torrent that just debued?...they look hella similar, but pontiac is advertising the Torrent as a SUV-style, so i don't know bout the dimension comparison...hard to tell

I grabbed the other two photos - enhanced the brightness/contrast on all of them and uploaded to share:

In the left side photo the vehicle looks smaller than the right side photo which has other things to compare to. Now I'm not as certain that this is the Caliber.

Those aren't the same vehicle. The top has steelies, and the bottom has real wheels. The one top has a wing, and bottom two do not.

Now don't go getting all super-intelligent on me this early in the morning mister...

Ok, so we all agree the top one is the Caliber. What's the bottom one?

Yep, what Omni said. The first pic is the one I was interensted in. If you look at the the rear window of the 1st and last suv, you can tell that they are different veheicles.

I could see it being the Caliber.

Cheers.

I read the thread title and thought I would find a picture of my Mother-in-law.

well, I'd agree that the first one is the caliber. The second one, well, I'd go with the next jeep cherokee. It has the same wheels as the current one, only black. 5 spokes, and a definate 4-wheel drive stance. also, the profile of the tailights, looks very cherokee like.

thats what i was thinking, but the new gen Grand Cherokees just came out and the SRT-8 has been shown, so what would they be hiding?
