I ordered mine on March 4th, as of May 15, status BX, no VIN, no delivery date. I cancelled the order and had the dealer search a 250 mile radius for Caliber's. He found 6 Caliber SE's (barebones, no options except CVT and 2.0 engine and 4 Caliber R/T's (loaded $22-24,000 range). No SXT's at all. I was with him at the computer, so I know he wasn't lying. Since gas is 3.10/gal around here and I owned a 99 Explorer, it was looking pretty bad for summer travel. I gave up on the Caliber and purchased a 2006 Pontiac Vibe today. I really wanted to own something new and different, but with no idea of when to expect it, I had to make a hard decision. The Vibe was 19,880.00 and the Caliber was 19,150 with similar options, plus I had the friends/ family discount. The dealer gave me 2,000.00 in rebates and another 500.00 off sticker to match the Caliber deal. Same payment, same terms. I lose the CVT and Chill Zone, but the Vibe comes with a Sunroof, Monsoon Audio and better gas mileage. it's a tradeoff, but I needed to do it. In 2 years, my oldest daughter can drive the Vibe and I will look at the Caliber again as my new car. To anyone in upstate NY, I highly recommend the Gable Auto Group in Cobleskill, NY. They did everything they could to make things right, and it wasn't even their fault. I hope all of you get your orders filled soon. I just couldn't wait anymore.
