The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge Caliber is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Pontiac Vibe. As far as gas mileage, the Dodge Caliber beats the Vibe. The Pontiac Vibe doesn't pale in comparison to the Caliber regarding gas mileage. The Caliber isn't much more expensive than the Pontiac as far as MSRP.

The Pontiac Vibe and the Dodge Caliber can accommodate the same number of passengers. Towing is significantly more the Caliber's forte than it is the Vibe's.

Convenience
You will have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Vibe than with the Caliber.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Vibe offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Caliber, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Pontiac Vibe offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Dodge Caliber, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

The Caliber has no lessons to learn regarding pickup from the Pontiac.
