pretty nice!

Kioshi · 01-07-2012, 09:37 PM

too digital for me on the inside. i hate how hvac settings are being shown on hud display.

headlights look horrible...who the hell approves these final designs?

the rear looks alright.

It appears to be a mashup, but most cars are that way now. The SRT-4 had quite a following and I think had a positive influence on the culture. Hopefully a reboot of the Dart will do the same.

Kal-El · 01-07-2012, 11:34 PM

Overall, I think it looks good, but not fantastic. Kind of like the new Elantra, it's looks really interesting and different now but may not age well (like a conservative Corolla).

I appreciate Dodge's ongoing effort to fill the sport sedan/muscle car heritage niche in there respective categories. It's a niche some are clearly interested in. If Chrysler could prove themselves reliable, I would give them a look, but history always shows that a Chrysler product will begin to suck within 5-7 years. Hopefully, that will change.

This is an R/T that is shown. Clearly the top model outside of a possible SRT model that will hopefully be available - that would be sick and certainly kill the Civic Si. So we're are seeing 17" wheels, dual exhausts, ect. Wonder how a base model will look which will need to be priced from about $16K.

I was going to say it looks like the elantra front end......

It looks like a LOT of cars piecemeal together really. Seeing this actually reminds me of the movie "She's Out of My League" :

Stainer: But he drives a shit box so you have to deduct a point.
Kirk: What is wrong with my neon?
Stainer: Oh I don't know except the people who make that car don't even like it.

FWD?

thebarber · 01-08-2012, 08:34 AM

Looks cool....but the Dodge crosshair grill looks a bit out of place. Similar to the cobalt when it came out it only looks like a mish-mash of styles because its late to the game

Viperoni · 01-08-2012, 01:39 PM

PLEASE tell me it comes with a Hemi.

silver_echo · 01-08-2012, 07:07 PM

Most motors nowadays are hemis. That term comes from a hemispherical design of the heads.

contraband831 · 01-09-2012, 12:23 AM

i like it, its not bad. I like the rear and the front end is ok, overall thumbs up! I still wont buy it though hahaha...

rningonfumes · 01-09-2012, 12:50 AM

Love it.... Finally seeing small cars in domestics I would buy.

carnageehw · 01-09-2012, 10:20 AM

Love the look but.....the Dart? Really? That name sucks.

Also, is this going into the Civic/Elantra class? Doesn't Chrysler also have the 200 in that class?

A-Dingo-Ate-My-Baby · 01-09-2012, 10:53 AM

but Dodge parts fail, rip, power seat and window gear dies, fog lights get misaligned on
the slightest bump, those twin exhausts won't be in alignment in 30,000 miles, transmission
will die at 80,000 miles. oh yeah creaks and moans throughout the life.

has anything been done to resolve the above ???

Dodge looks nice on paper but execution is crappier than GM

rningonfumes · 01-09-2012, 12:22 PM

Ya, you throw a dart at it and fix them as they come.

cali yaris · 01-09-2012, 01:01 PM

I like it. Would have to be pretty crisp and responsive to win me over though. (Which I doubt it will be).

matthewai · 01-09-2012, 02:49 PM

you think a cop would ever check in that seat compartment ? ahhaha
