We have several trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for the 2009 Dodge Caliber. I have included a link to them for you. I personally own the OutWay 3-bike rack, # TH56BV, that you have referenced. This is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. It has a plethora of features but my favorite is the the way in which it mounts.

The OutWay uses 2 retractable cables instead of 6 straps like other racks. This makes installation/removal of the rack fast and easy. It also features anti-sway cradles, a cable lock in the last bike position, and the cables can be locked to deter theft.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
