RHD Euro-Spec Caliber Spotted

While this isn't news to anybody who closely followed DCX's presence at the '06 Geneva Auto Show, I did manage to come across one of the first production-ready examples of a European-market Caliber SXT, sporting a right-hand-drive configuration.



Notable changes, aside from the driver's location being inverted, are metric gauge faces and fender-mounted side marker lights. If this model includes other European lighting changes, particuarly in terms of fog tail lamps, they're integrated into the domestic styling seamlessly - a stark contrast to prior Chrysler vehicles.



And, apparently afraid that European consumers will equate the ubiquitous ram logo with something other than Dodge, European-spec Calibers will also be sporting the marque's name in a small script above the rear logo.

Having seen some diesel-powered Caliber prototypes in the area, the lack of a "Diesel" emblem on the rear hatch signifies that this particular tester was not equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder diesel available to European customers.
