Default Dodge Dart

Making it's return. Made by Fiat to compete with the Focus, Cruze etc. Interesting looking car from the few pics I've seen

The headlights look interesting. But, no hatch body style. So, not for me.

Me either. The only DCJ I'd own is a Jeep Wrangler and that was before they ruined them with a V6

The front end treatment looks almost like an Alfa or Lancia grille-wise. I'll stick with my Fiestas, thank ye kindly.

I think they made up for it this year with the Pentastar. The 3.8L van engine, I'd agree though.

Good to hear. They've been off my short list since they changed them.

I really wanted to stick with Chrysler after my Stratus but they had nothing I even remotely wanted. This might fit the bill but its two years too late. Sorry Chrysler.

I think this is going to be an interesting one to watch. It sounds the like the Giulietta is a great car. The styling well... when you start with an alfa, and try to make it look like a charger....

Not that it looks terrible, it's just never going to live up to its platform mate IMO.
This is probably the most interested I've been in a chrysler product in a long time (except for the challenger, but that was based on drop dead gorgeous looks).

Looks like the segment is heating up though. If the dart drives like the Giulietta the focus has some serious competition.

It's time for Dodge to finally have a good modern small car. They can't look back fondly on the neon forever. Now this might make a decent PT cruiser...
