Sounds good to me.  Doesn't look any worse than the other compacts out there, in many cases looks better.  Wish they would say the gas mileage.

First glance I was like looks like sh** but now that I look at it, I kinda agree with Theghost and nvrbdn

If they're going to get into the $hi+box derby game they need to jump in head first and make a couple of versions that do it right. Make at least one example that's an AWD 450-hp drifting EVO/WRX-killer with a top speed of about 190 mph that gets about 35 mpg when you're not abusing it. Most likely though they'll just pussy-foot around with pleasing 14% of the soccer mom crowd and then cry when it doesn't sell well.

Nice. Off to a real good start when the video about the car doesn't even work...

I really wish they would make a low cost 2 door. I refuse to drive a 4 door. I have owned nothing Dodge's for over 20 years, but in 2009 when I needed a new vehicle for everyday driving I bought a 2009 Chevey Cobalt for $13,500. I would have gladly bought a dodge if there would have been a 2 door in that price range.

After Dodge killed the PT Cruiser and Caliber they don't have a compact car anymore.
The 200 and Avenger doesn't exactly appeal to the younger crowd.

I think it will be a good car for them if its reliable.

Now bring on the SRT version.

I absolutely hate it. While I'm glad to see the Dart name return, this abortion is even worse than the current so called "Charger". An Italian designed, common blob with two doors too many and wrong wheel drive. What an insult to current real Dart owners. Good luck using search engines to find Dart sites from now on.

Seriously?  My first car was a plain jane, 4 door dart with a slant six.  Most darts were like that.  An affordable, compact (for the time), econobox.  This new dart represents the old ones alot better than you give it credit for.

Gees, America is so blind nowadays, its an upgraded Neon and nobody else see's it? It's a born loser soon to be pile of crap within 3 to 5 years just like the Magnum wagon.
It is so sad what we have fallen into for transportation nowadays, like suckers almost for anything that gets good gas miles per gallon vs real cars, thus being the gov takes control of, 4 door charger, what a joke and peep's bought it! end of rant..idiots....
New car smell great gas mileage and shinny new paint, people would buy Hyundai's all day long if it had R/T badging on it.
New Dodge Dart, I don't think so......
Hey, you can hate the game but don't hate the player.

Yes, they need to bring a compact car back - fine.    "Dart" - seriously....??  What about Aries or Colt?  Both of these aren't tied the muscle car era.  

I absolutely don't this idea....

In this article......

.....it says that ""The Dart is a nice name to bring back. The negative reactions in our surveys account for less than 5%," Spinella says."  who were they interviewing???  I call BS on this study.

Ah.  You're one of those guys... :rotz:

"It's not a real dart unless it has 2 doors and a performance engine, even though the original dart was not intended to be a performance car, and the performance models only make up about 10% of all darts made!"

That attitude is an insult to all real Mopar lovers everywhere.

My first glance I thought it was a Mitsubishi. damn fiat is destroying the good name of dodge ( except the chally).
I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but I'm all out of bubble gum.

I like it and am already thinking about picking up a '14 model some day. I'll give them some time to see if there's an SRT-4 model. If not, probably an R/T. My '04 Neon R/T will be 10 years old by then. Dart is just a name. In the late '60s and in the '70s, I saw very few performance-oriented Darts. Most were 4-door, slant-6 or 318, granny mobiles.

I don't like them either, never have.  The four door Swingers were among the ugliest cars Dodge made. Just because it has a Mopar decal on it somewhere does not mean it is a great car and we should all bow to those responsible for giving us such a wonderful car.  Chrysler has had so many turds in their stable I do not even know where to begin.  This new car is just another example of such a turd.

Yea these Darts were bitchin.

Guys it's a re-skinned Alfa-Romeo, look up what it could get from this line of cars. They have some good stuff and a very long line of racing heritage just as Fiat does. Is it Muscle Car? No! If it was you'd not afford insurance just like the Neon's rating is now. (I know, I was going to buy a Neon R/T last year till I called to check on insurance!)
  Granted I was hoping it would look like a mini Challenger sort of but what do I know?  :lol:

They may have been ugly, but I still fail to see how the new dart is an "abomination" and an "insult" to that bitchin brown car there.  If anything, you've helped prove my point.

Also, I'd drive that brown car with pride.

Perhaps I should have been more clear with my opinion. No I'm not into four door slant six Darts but if I saw a nicely restored 67-69 at a show, I would stop to admire. I certainly have great respect for the incredibly durable Slant Six engine and I would love to own one of those super rare Slant Six '69 Chargers. That said, I agree that the brown Dart above is a turd although not as bad as that wannabe Dart they're about to come out with.
