Looks like Hyundai is done copying Honda, now they're on to Toyota...

Nice LaCrossing of the sideglass

The interior looks like an Infiniti, but they didn't execute it very well, it looks like garbage, and I don't like the white/clear buttons a la the Avalon.

Mr. Fly has hit it for me. I've been trying to think what car this little groundhog resembles in profile... a trash-compacted LaCrosse! It's got Dodge Dakota Syndrome... little boy wearing big boy trousers.

While the interior looks pretty tight (why does Hyundai's economy car have a better interior than its midsize car?), the exterior is horrible. Bloaty, bland, weird.

exterior is horrible indeed, atrocious, dismal

the interior is ok (kind of toyota like), but i think the new sentra and the current mazda3 have it all over this thing.

clearly heeyoondie is going after toyota. all power to em. with hyundai and toyota going at it making dull ass cars like this (but the buffoon yuppie intellectual hippie CR readers will still buy em) that should leave the door open for GM and Ford to start selling cool small cars again sometime. HOPEFULLY. the Caliber is selling like HOTCAKES around here.

Economy cars trying to look classy always somehow

end up looking like crap instead!

i have a hunch the new sentra will become the compact class star and the mazda 3 will remain strong. NPR listeners will still buy corollas. but the hyundai will make inroads on the corolla. if you have pimples and want an xbox or playstation, the civic is still the car to get. aloof prfoessionals will go to the rabbit/gti

interior is a bit m45ey

[Ravenfreak13]

Not too bad!

[MyerShift]

Ahh, a shrunken Azera with a much better interior!

[Intrepidation]

Interoior is ok, I hate the exterior. It does look like a crushed LaCrosse!

So the Caliber is selling well in your area reg? I've been seeing a fair amount around here too. I sw a black one today...man it looked sweet.

Calibers are selling like... wait, they aren't around here.

the dodge dealer a mile from my house can't keep em in stock and usually every other day or so I am already seeing them. every time i drive by the dodge place and there is one out there, literally the next afternoon its not there.

The interior is up to standard but the exterior! Very dissapointed in Hyundai on this one!
