Life is an experiment
There is no real Mopar of any kind now... They are all just Fiats with another badge.
its a renamed neon, just like chevy changed the cavalier to the cobalt, and ford changed the escort to the focus...... its just to get rid of the bad reputation of the previous cars. Just fyi, i do think a 2 door version would be cool however
The new Dart is nearly exactly what the old dart was. A small economy car. So flipping what it has Fiat guts. At least you can get it with a turbo or without A/C if you wish.I hate it, I feel so betrayed and insulted.
I have never despised a dodge vehicle as much as this new "dart".
I think they screwed up badly, they decided to ride the coattails of the new charger and challenger, decided "lets make a compact car...and use a nostalgic name like we did before to sell it"..
Looks nothing like a dart to me, looks like a damn fiat.
and you take away from the older darts in releasing this pos.
Fail dodge, fail....
BREAD AND BUTTER CARS... that's what the early dart and valiant were and every manufacturer needs them. I am sure that's what they are counting on with the new Dart. I hope it is successful in that role. If it helps Ma Mopar pay the bills and keep the doors open, good! I am sure there are a lot of American's counting on that for their own bread and butter. I sometimes fight those negative feelings myself, but this is the reality. It ain't 1963 anymore.
i actually kinda like it, i also like the new ford focus as well...41 MPG sounds intriguing....
I'm hoping it sells. People need jobs.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. Its exactly what it was.. a small economy car, relatively affordable...transportation... period.. I saw the one at the Nats, I liked it... Thinking about getting a blue one (wonder if they will offer it in B5 like the new Chally's... now wouldnt that be sweet...) I'll drive my modern, economical blue Dart all week, and take blue 'seasonal, fun to play with Dart' out on the weekends LOL ..

the vicious circle......anybody working on sticking a 604" 2G HEMI in one yet?? it is what it is, i am not a new car person so to me it is what it is, a new car. don't have to like it but that does not mean it is going away. i just wonder why fiat had to name it a Dart? i understand that a dart was an econo box back in the day, well at least some of them. but there was also the more than 1 high performance version of it. why not name it a Colt? for that matter why hash up any of the old badges? it is a new design auto why not give it a new badge?People need a job to buy a new car.
Not about the new Dart II but seems the most people are on this thread. I am yanking the slant 6 outa my valiant. I'm trying to do it with the trans attached. 2 stabs at it and nodda. will I ever achieve the angle? Has anyone else done this? I'm stuck cause the motor will not turn over. Any help would be appreciated.
