I think I remember reading somewhere that initially theCalibers did have an engine cover but they stopped making them with engine covers. Seems dumb to me! I'd assume it would be the same thing with the Compass. However if I remember correctly they were still going to make the Caliber R/T's with an engine cover and the R/T has the same 2.4L engine that is found in most Compass'.N.S.E.W. said:
