I hate the new Dodge Dart

Car and Driver compared a Dart SE with a 1.4 turbo and a Focus SE with a 2.0 naturally aspirated. HP was the same, the Dart had 38 ft/lbs more torque and 300 lbs more weight. Despite the Dart having better gearing for acceleration and torque that peaked at 2500 rpm, the Ford beat it to all speeds. C&D liked the way the Dart drove.

My disappointment is that Mopar didn't see fit to make the new Dart rear drive. I was hoping for a BMW 135 in a Dodge body. Now I'm wanting to see a Scion FR-S or a Subie BRZ. Either one is going to be about the same $s as a Dart R/T.
