Not bad at all, in my opinion. Looks like a nice effort . . . and much needed for Dodge.

I like it. I wonder what the power train options are. Especially for the R/T version.

I can see the base models being popular in the rental car market.

I hope they have an srt-4 option. Focus ST needs some competition

That's a good effort.

I hope they sell it over here. Dodge did give us a Calibre, but most Brits just didn't get it

Would be good a have a car in the UK that gives Dodge a fighting chance.

Chrysler has already promised a range of powertrains for the Dart, including three different engines and a trio of transmissions (including an optional nine-speed automatic!). Power will come from the automaker's range of new Tigershark small-displacement engines, including a 2.0-liter, 16-valve four, a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo and a 2.4-liter MultiAir.

Looks pretty cool on the inside. Just needs a 300hp turbo now.

Ok, what is "Dart" about it? It just looks like another fungible FWD 4door sedan to me. They could have named it anything.

The interior looks nice, and the blackouts on the premium model look good. But the white base model looks pretty terrible.

Looks pretty good. The front end on the white one kinda reminds me of a cartoonish 03-04 Cobra.

This would make me very happy.

I woulda swore I posted this earlier:

Is it me, or does it look like a Hyundai Elantra?

Diggin' the insides though. That dash is sweet. Love the instrument cluster.

looks really good, some of the curvaceous lines reminds me a lot of the old Neon (i liked those btw). huge step forward from the Caliber.

Likes:
-R/T overall packaging and thrones
-the grille treatment on the white one

Don't like:
-grille treatment of R/T
-center console is 'meh'

If it's going to be a Dart, they could've at least given the RT version some kind of Dart style paint treatment. Black roof and quarter panel stripe, blacking the hood depression, etc... maybe a retroish blackout panel. Not a bad car, but they could've done a better job of capitalizing on the name IMO. Hey, it's a step in the right direction and yet another car I'd buy before a Civic.

Maybe they're saving all that for the SRT-4 ...

Engine choice is lame. 175-184 hp maximum? give me a break. Hope the overall mechanical quality is better than my 2001 Ram. It was falling apart at 24 months. At least they are trying!
