Anyone know or heard any rumor about when/if there's going to be a diesel Caliber available in the US? maybe a hybrid ?

I for one feel rather taken advantage of. These CRD's will either keep their value because they are desirable to own, or their value will drop like a rock in a lake. I do not like being in this position as we are retired, and really do not want to trade this vehicle for 6 more years, when I am 67.
So be careful what you ask for you just might become a "test market" for DCX.

any word on mpg improvements or diesel engine options???
Found an article on the 2007 Caliber that says:
The 2007 Dodge Caliber will be available with all three displacements in the World Engine family: 1.8-liter (140 hp / 104 kW), 2.0-liter (150 hp / 112 kW) and 2.4-liter (170 hp / 127 kW). For non-US markets, Dodge is offering a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine (which is built by Volkswagen).

I am from Europe and I brought Caliber 2.0 Diesel 1 year ago. This car is fantastic. Outside the city it takes 5.3liters of diesel on 100km. It does from 0-60 in about 9.0seconds. I am going to buy upgrade kit, so it will have much more power, upgrade kit will increase the power from 140hp to 180hp and 0-60 in about 8.5s and the consumption will stay the same. Once again great car.
