Maybe the modern Dart is related to the real Darts?

so i called them spaghetti cars, but ended up getting one lol.

as my DD it runs great. i get between 32 and 34mpg depending on my route.

handles fine, has pretty good get-up-and-go. the nav system / sat radio (included with car for 1 year free), ipod player stuff is outstanding. voice controlled, i can say "find intersection first street and broadway chatanooga tennessee" and it will take me there. the guages behind the steering wheel are an LCD panel, and you can configure them for analog speedo/ digital speedo/ etc.

it's actually a very nice car.

if i had to compare it to the '68 340 dart i had back in the day:
-better mileage (i got 19mpg with the old dart with 4spd 3.23 gearing)
-less pickup than the '68
-more techy
-less roomy. less trunk space less foot room in back seats. the seats in the new one fold down and open into the trunk.

compared to my old daily driver (mazda 3) it's got a little more power, better mileage and better tech systems. better car all around than the mazda3.
