Chrysler brings back the Dodge Dart

Well according to the one article Dan posted no hatchback for the US, supposed to be a sedan only. Guess we'll have to wait and see what gets released.

I think its a little unfortunate that it doesn't seem to have any real styling cues to the original, it seems to have new Charger style tail lights and the standard crosshair front grille. Probably asking too much for a retro style car like the Challenger, but it wouldn't have been all that hard to pay tribute to the original with some tail lights or grille cues that go back to the original.

If the 2.4 is anything like the one that was in the Neon based SRT4 it will be a good platform, but I don't know if that's actually based on the same engine or if it just happens to be the same displacement. The SRT4's responded well to modifications, the really ripped with the right set up.

Still, too bad that the 2.4 is the biggest engine you can supposedly get. Although, the Chrysler V6 is pretty lame, so maybe its best it stays to 4 cylinders.
