This is the first newspaper mention I've seen.

The pic below is of the teaser headline, and the full article is available online at http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060325/BUSINESS07/603250309/1020/BUSINESS .
The article (online too) includes a few stills from the MoonDog tv spot.

Just noticed that there are only 3 still shots from the tv ad in the online article. In the print version, there were 6. If you are interested, here they are:

Anyone else think that the Caliber looks better WITHOUT the chrome around the grill?

Kind of makes it look more badass... Just like with the SX2.0's, I always loved how the R/T's didn't have a chrome grill.

Looks cool either way, but that's just my opinion.

Also, i'm not so sure about this whole 'bad boy' kind of image they're going for with the caliber. It's an AWESOME vehicle and all, but not really the kind that's going to roll around and DOMINATE all the other cars out there, and for Dodge to try and push this image, it's going to make Caliber owners look like jerks.

...now the SRT on the other hand... hehehe

I'm not exactly a fan of chrome. I'd much rather do without. Pretty much the reason I chose silver for mine (the chrome grille won't be as noticeable!) and why I didn't get the R/T.

yeah i dont like chrome much. good thing in most cars the performance version is usually without too much chrome.

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Yeah, like others have said, chrome is more for luxury cars in my opinion.

 

[suzq044]

yup, hope the SRT keeps the body-color grille the se has.

i tend to agree, with the chrome, i do like chrome wheels to, they make any car stand out! but i do notice on trucks that the sports versions always have one color facia, lik the new hemi sport, versus, say laramie and what not.

I dont like any chrome accents. The SRT front grill is awesome.
