caliber pickup

iloveelcaminos · 07-25-2006, 03:31 AM

Did this simple paint cut and paste on the caliper a while ago and as I was going through my files as a slideshow these two pictures came up one behind the other. I was amazed at how similar the looked. I remember saving the pickup hoping it would be the base for the new dakota. Dont remember if it was a real truck or just a photoshop or whatever. http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/a...1&d=1153553345

The two-door version looks really sharp. The lines of the Caliber look much better on a truck-like vehicle rather than a hatchback SUV wannabe thingy, IMO.

I think the greenhouse is a little odd on the 4-door pickup.

I like it. A lot.

Honda should of done this instead of the Ridgeline. Affordable runabouts SELL!

I would like the Caliber pickup if the lines wre fixed.

j_granlund · 07-25-2006, 01:00 PM

they should have that as a dakota replacement.

Front drive mini-pickup...useless...I don't think the AWD system in those will handle an SRT-4 motor either.

It looks good. But, it would be based on a car platform. And, doesn't the Dakota sort of look like that now, at least front end wise?

I agree with this guy.

The next gen Caravan will have a pickup companion.

Likely won't matter. It's not meant as a substitute for the Dakota or Ram unless maybe for very light duty work. I think it's more of a car that looks like a pickup for everyone who wants a pickup but doesn't actually need one. Now that gas is even more expensive, I doubt that many people who don't use real trucks for work will keep buying them.

Haha Ive never seen a dodge rampage before. Maybe you blokes haven't seen an aussie dodge/chrysler ute before.
