Chrysler brings back the Dodge Dart

Face it... Our Dodge Darts were cheap, economical cars. The majority did NOT buy them because of their performance potential. I would be surprised if the majority of original Dodge Dart owners even knew what a Hemi was. This new incarnation of the Dart looks like it's going to be a cheap, economical car to meet the needs of today.

The Dart moniker may mean a lot to FABO members, and MOPAR enthusiasts, but to the general public, it was just another cheap car.

I agree. And think about how many 60's and 70's Dart owners ever imagined that their cars would ever have a cult-like following......I'd say none, they probably thought they were just cheap transpo. Chrysler may just come up with something that sort of "grows on you". Just like I said before, they are a business and if the bean-counters say they need to appeal to X group in order to sell X amount of vehicles to hit their sales goal/profit, they're going to follow a certain mainstream, safe recipe to do that.

Chrysler has made so many boring, faceless, forgettable small cars over the years though, (think of all those K-cars) I just hope they can come up with something that isn't too pathetic. I'm actually somewhat optimistic. I was fairly impressed with my SRT-4 Neon, so if it's better than that, I'd be interested.

Just don't show us cool pics and then give us a Caliber......EFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
