its cool for a compact, will probably sell well with the chrysler tigershark turbo, hopefully a srt4 version is available soon. the dart was originally dodges attempt to sell in the small ish car market, so i dont see a problem with the name.

The plant is 20 minutes from me in my hometown. Great for the area. Been pumping a ton o money into the place the last two years.

How much sledge-hammering will it take to fit a HEMI in it? :)

Too bad it's a 4 cyl, but, it the Dart has always been a compact and that's the way of the compact car... I wonder who will be the first to slam a Hemi in it for SEMA.

I figured you would bring this thread up Will lol, but they said that 4 cylinder might get 40 mpg!!

It's about time something in the States gets 40 mpg. They've been doing it over here for how long???

I'm disgusted. At least make it rwd and muscle car-ish. I could live with the 4cyl, but this thing is just poser car.

there just calling it a Dart to sell more cars. No way a 4cylinder FWD compact car should be named a Dart. Unless they put a V8 in it and make it RWD will I care. Heres an Idea keep the car small and put all that power of a charger or challenger in it. 425hp+ is alot but not when your making cars that weigh 4300lbs.

The young people this car will be marketed to have never even heard of a Dart and the fact that it's not a "Retro Looking Dart" won't even cross their mind. That's for all of us old men to gripe about.

Don't be too quick to judge. It's based on the Alfa Giulietta mechanicals. Should be a hoot to drive.

hate it, i think they're ruining the names of good looking cars back in the day too much now. If they built a nice car (2dr option, but then again there is almost no car that is 4dr with a 2dr option these days) with sharp lines and an optional v8 id love the idea, but just using a name on this little 4door eco crap thing to get peoples attention like its doing all over the web doesn't get me excited

oh and if dodge isnt messing up enough on this car, this should help too, idiots
