I hope they do it justice but I think I see two door handles meaning a 4 door

Can the Demon be far behind?

Dodge has announced that it will be reviving the Dart with an all-new car to be unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in January, making it the latest throwback nameplate to join the company's stable, along with the Charger and Challenger.

The automaker today released two teaser images of the compact sedan, which will serve as the replacement for the Caliber hatchback. It is the first Dodge to be fully developed through the Chrysler-Fiat alliance.

Based on the existing front-wheel-drive Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which is not sold in the United States, the Dart's styling apes that of the larger Dodge Charger, featuring the brand's signature crosshair grille, "racetrack"-style rear LED lighting and dual exhaust pipes.

The Dart will be available with three different four-cylinder engines - a 1.4-liter turbo, 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter - and three transmissions. Details have not yet been revealed, but the car depicted in the photos is show wearing an R/T badge, indicating that it is a high-performance variant of the model.

The automaker's consumer website says that interior photos of the Dart will be posted on Dec. 13th. Pricing information is yet to come, but the car will be produced at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere, Ill., alongside the Jeep Patriot and Compass.

Nothing wrong with trying the Dart name again.  As for the Demon nameplate, I could see the ricer crowd really embracing a car with that badging.

2013 Dodge Dart Plan:

1) Glorify the Avenger
2) Re-use the new Charger tail light for it's recent success
3) Slap the "Dart" badge on it and watch it sell

I'll take one with a 6.1!

3 different 4 bangers, 1.4ltr., 2.0ltr. & 2.4ltr. no thanks, maybe the "Demon" if they Build it, will be a performance base package,  no 4 banger front wheel drives for me...

Think about it, though. The MAJORITY of A-bodies were slant 6 bread-n-butter grocery getters. They were marketed with economy in mind. The performance segment was a small one. I'm sure with the '13, a turbo'd 4 banger is in the works somewhere.
Could be LOTS worse. Before clicking the link, my first hunch was it's gonna be either electric or hybrid (think: Prius). That would be in true vain of what the original was intended for. I was relieved to see it was going to have somewhat of a muscular style. At least, the grille design looks like a great improvement!!

a 1.4-liter turbo is the only turbo motor that dodge is so far planning on.

[Troy]

It's the replacement for the Caliber so you can expect it to be marketed similarly.

Put a wing on it! Dart-Tona!

Ah, well. Wishful thinking!

I like the idea of a FWD turbo. I love my 2.2 turbo. It woops 5.0's all day long and gets 28 mpg.

Just curious...

Talking about 1980's 5.0s or 2012 5.0?

Aren't you going to complain about the conservative slant in the Dodge Dart article by Fox?

[Paul G]

It's an Italian designed based on the Alfa Romeo's Giulietta platform. I hope they make versions of everything from a high miler little four to a fire breathing SRT version. It looks like it will have agressive styling. It's Italian like me, should have good looks 

"Old name aside, the new Dodge Dart will reside atop a Fiat platform, adapted from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, but lengthened and widened for segment-leading interior roominess. The 2013 Dodge Dart replaces the Dodge Caliber."

my 92 2.2 DOHC Daytona Iroc R/T came stock with 224 hp 217 tq and was built to beat 92 5.0's. They run mid 14's stock and with just add ons with a stock long block can easily be pushed to do 12's. Mine has a stock long block with just a 3" mandrel bent exhaust a rechipped ecm with the boost raised from 11 psi to 15 psi the 6300 rpm rev limiter removed (revs to 7000 rpm easy) and +20 injectors. Here are a couple of links. The first is Ralph Scotts site. He owned 1 of the 8 blue 93 R/T's He loved these cars. He passed away about a month ago but before passing asked another lover of these turbo cars to carry on the site. http://www.pbase.com/rmscott/iroc_rts The second is a video of a car a guy named Larry from Tampa built. Larry built it all with a stock long block and put down 500 hp on the dyno. He sold the car a few years ago and the new owner toned it down since it was just too wild on the street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omboXDK3ysg&feature=related They are a blast to drive and fill my HP cravings between Charger drives and cost a ton less in gas. Here is one of my turbo R/Ts on ralphs site http://www.pbase.com/rmscott/image/37814051

[TruckDriver]

Well at least this time, they are using a name that when it originally was used, it was on 4 door cars too back then. Unlike the Charger.

[RallyeMike]

Here comes another group of purists getting their panties bunches up over a badge on a little tin box that has nothing to do with the classic car. Who cares what it's called, just as long as it sells well enough to keeps Mopar/Fiat afloat.

[Nacho-RT74]

I don't see any Dart, just an Alfa Romeo renamed with some Neon mix and some other details

[Ghoste]

Badge engineering. 

[Nacho-RT74]

an Alfa and a Neon got sex and this is the result
