Front wheel drive, carried the Charger name, had very little to do with the B-body, no heritage from it's past.

But, what the hell, it was a piece of s*** before one unit was sold.

Or this?

Rebadging, or building cars off mult-make platforms has been going on for decades and some of you guys act like it's a brand new concept.

The thing is, Dodge should have learned from its past... None of these were particularly successful. Why? Because they had nothing to do with the original.

Also, let me re-iterate, I have no problem with the new car itself that dodge is making... I understand the need for a fuel efficient grocery getter, and from the pics shown it looks to be a stylish one... My issue is with the careless nameplate use... Call it the Avenger, the Caliber, the neon, the Colt... any of those make more sense than calling this particular car a Dart.
