Discontinuation
The 2010 Caliber was the last model sold in Europe. The 2011 model ended production on November 23, 2011 in United States, with the remainder being sold as the 2012 model year Caliber in both U.S. and Canada. A successor called the Dart, based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta's platform, went on sale in June 2012 as the compact vehicle in Dodge's lineup.
The Caliber will continue production alongside its replacement, the all-new Dodge Dart (2013), for rental car fleets nationwide until at least early 2013, with those models being offered as 2012 models. Those Calibers, however, will not be offered to consumers, as most consumers will purchase the all-new Dodge Dart (2013) instead of purchasing leftover 2012 Calibers in stock at Dodge dealerships nationwide.
