A new compact [[well, that's compact by American standards...) is hitting the road shortly. It's the successor to the Caliber and it's a love child between Fiat and Dodge. It's build on the frame of the Alfa Guilletta. And because of this, this car is only for the American market and won't go to Europe. It will make it's official debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next week.

Shame. I think this could have been a success in Europe. I don;t understand why the Alfa and Dodge can't be delevered together. I mean, there are too many differences between the two.


The Alfa Guilletta.


The new Dodge.
