Dodge Neon Discontinuation
The Dodge Neon was discontinued after 2005, to be replaced by the Caliber in 2007. The final cars were assembled on September 23, 2005, at the Belvidere Assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois. This decision was influenced by low sales on later models of the compact car. The Neon was replaced in the spring of 2006 with the 2007 Dodge Caliber, which is based on the shared Chrysler/Mitsubishi Motors GS platform.
