1: ... You just appear to be one of those guys unhappy with anything Chrysler tries to do.
3: this is another problem many are having. Your making a direct appearance comparison of the cars and not what they are/were.
Ask your self honestly. What was the old Dart? If you did not come up with an answer like this:
"A basic transportation car that started with a base engine and no frills."
Then you have totally missed it. The old Darts were nothing more than that with a few performance versions made. Remember, adding to the old Darts check list added price from the base as we all know. Se of the most popular upgrades were:
Carpet instead of rubber mats
Power steering and brakes
A/C
Added drivetrain power ment a upgrade to a 318 as the first step, sometimes the only step up.
If you can not make a direct compare from the above
To today's Dart, a basic people mover that starts with nearly no options and is being sold dirt cheap, you have and will continue to miss it and
Probably will never get it.
If ya don't like the car for another reason, looks, a Fiat intervention/Dodge in Fiat clothing, to small, ugly, what ever, that is fine.
