If they sold the Dodge Caliber Diesel in the US, I would buy one. When I was in Las Vegas a few months ago, our rental car was a Dodge Caliber. For a small suv/crossover/whatever you call it, it had good room in the front and I liked the styling.
While the Jeep Compass may be similar, it rubs me the wrong way. It kinda looks like a forced downgrade of a Grand Cherokee.
The future Tiguan has promise, but it isn't even in production yet, and I don't want to wait that long. I do want something bigger than a Jetta/Golf; but the Touareg is just too expensive.
I'll just have to wait and see what my options are for 2008 models w/diesel.
Thanks to TDIClub, i'm addicted to diesel.
