Coupe: SUVs aren't meant to be fast although I can sort of give you 50/50 on this one as I do like th Porsche Cayenne Turbo/Turbo S and it probably beats the pants off my SC400. Honestly I think it doesn't look bad but I'm never going to be in the market for something as useless as this, my personal opinion.



Honestly, I've never even given this car much thought, it passes under the radar.

The Matrix still comes across as a wagon while the Caliber somehow avoids looking like one.

But Matrix is an hatchback/mpv combo. Definetly not wagon.

Here is an classic Corolla Wagon:



Here is Matrix:


There is nothing wrong with Wagons, but hatchbacks are definetly not the same as Wagons.

However, I can't bring myself to buy an American car (especially one that has received negative criticism for quality and interior quality like the Caliber. Too bad.

So I will most likely be getting a Civic instead.

If Honda or Toyota built the Caliber and gave it better gas mileage, It would be a sure buy for me.
