I took some pics to send my son on the East Coast, he's been asking for me to send some so he can see my new car. Thought hey, I will post them on here as well. A little side note, I wanted the orange bad, but it was not to be had on an R/T anywhere I looked and we have 7 Dodge Dealerships here in Las Vegas. I did not want White or Black or Yellow or Blue, I ended up with Silver which looks really good the more I look at it on the Caliber, let me know what you think. I will post some more later.

Very nice!

I think he R/T looks best in silver for one reason (besides that I like silver), and that's because that gheto-looking chrome strip on the door handles isn't very noticeable

I like the body colored handles but the chrome strip doesn't look right... makes it look like there was some sort of design-by-committie-fight over whether to make the handles chrome or body color.

Thanks for showing you R/T

I got to ask as I just noticed the plate frame. Did you buy at Towbin Dodge?
If so can I ask how much $$,$$$.$$??? Did the Chop do ya right? And one more thing are ya gonig to be on TV?

I'd say it looks fantastic, and those are professional-quality photos.

For some reason, they make it look more like a luxury car...

Flaps: Great looking Caliber R/T, I am not a fan of the Silver either, but if dodge did a Silver to look like that in the sunlight that would be awesome, and I would get that color.

I wish they made some sort of Graphite color or a color similar to what that Honda makes called Albastar(sp?) Silver I thought that color looks good IMO, but I am probably going to get Sunburst Orange anyway!!

I wonder if the Light Khaki Metallic is more of a silverish color or more a brown color??

Towbin Dodge was Great Fun

I did get it at Towbin Dodge and they were great, I actually did not want to go there, but the other closer dealer was giving me a lousy deal and they sold the color I wanted out from under me. So I went to Towbin to see a Red SXT, but this Silver R/T was up close to the building and I instantly liked it, the Leather interior is great, something I did not want but am liking now.

I got to ring the gong, they had barbecue all day on the Saturday I was there. The place is actually a lot of fun, when I headed to the back to see the parts dept, the Blue Genie was back there filming something, also got to see the Chopper on the follwing Tuesday when we had an unexpected service visit for what turned out to be a minor adjustment, which they did instantly as well as washed the car and threw in the premium floor mats which I recommend to everyone,they are 10 times nicer than the std ones.

I am not on the TV show which they film on Tuesdays.

As for the deal I got sticker minus the 500.00 rebate plus another 475.00 off. Then I got what looks like about 900 more for my trade than Kelly Blue, Good Trade in Value, so I am ok with the deal.

I dealt with Mark Deeter and thought he was very good at his job. I think this dealer looks out for the customer as good as any and tried to make the experience fun.

Highly Recommended, Flaps

Flaps...great ride and excellent pictures. I've got the same with exception of the rims. I have the chrome wheels. That R/T is something else. I just got back in from playing (Sunday drive - NOT).

Is it me or is this car fun to drive? The more I use it the more I want to go for rides in it. The CVT is great. Enjoy yours as well.

Speaking of the tranny, has anyone heard much about the reliablility of it?

Not just you I really like driving the Caliber (SXT, 2.0L/CVT) as well... and create reasons to go for drives

I'm holding my breath...

 

[rluna559]

Awesome! Very sharp.

 

[caliber4whoosh]

The CVT2 should be pretty damn tough...

Glad you like your Caliber and congrats!

P.S. Where exactly is Towbin Dodge?

Alright, with all of this talk of the Caliber being fun to drive, I am curious about how it actually performs.

What are these "fun" rides like? Is it just neat driving the CVT or will the R/T really perform like an R/T?

I am very curious and anxious as to what I will be getting with my R/T in terms of performance. Anyone with some info as to how this car accelerates (responsive, overall speed) and how tightly it handles?

I have searched the site and flipped through several pages of threads and could not find a lot of answers.

Any response would be greatly appriciated as I simply cannot wait for mine to show up

Thanks in advance!
