DaimlerChrysler Recalls 1000 workers in Illinois

Chrysler called back workers to staff the Belvidere plant producing the Dodge Caliber and forthcoming Jeep Compass. Some were workers laid off from other plants.

I test-drove a Dodge Caliber last week. When I get time, I'll try to write something halfway intelligent. My overall impression is that it was good, but it could have been better if they would have gotten rid of all the faux-SUV styling that adds weight and hurts aerodynamics. The new engine and CVT transmission seem to be much better than that in the Neon.
