Dodge Caliber “overhypedâ€

A recent survey by Kelley Blue Book and Harris Interactive asked consumers to compare the perceived “buzz†surrounding a new vehicle to the amount of attention they thought it deserved. For example, the new Dodge Caliber ranked high on the “buzz†scale, but low on consumers’ interest scale. “It’s overhyped,†KBB editor Jack Nerad told Automotive News. By contrast, the Mercedes GL-Class saw more interest than buzz. Overall, the vehicles with the most buzz were the Saturn Sky and Toyota FJ Cruiser.

the caliber is overhyped? that's odd... they can't keep those things on dealer lots and it's 'overhyped'? not deffending it, just speaking the 'truth'. I went and looked at a saturn sky yesterday.. such a NICE car.. very impressed, but wouldn't buy it in base (non-redline) trim unless I planned to do an LSx swap.

huh.... maybe there was just a lot of buzz? I'm pretty sure they're doing well with it. hell I'd still even like to get an R/T AWD version to play with someday. I'd rather devote that chunk of change to a Viper or a Lotus though.

I think the thing is awful and would rather have a pt cruiser.
