New Dodge Dart

[Rodger Tellefson]

Based on the European-only Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the new compact hatch is the first true mechanical combination born of the Fiat-Chrysler merger. Chrysler says the 2013 Dodge Dart will arrive with a choice of three engines, two of which are updated Chrysler four-cylinders suddenly renamed "Tigershark," because it's cool to get nicknames in middle age. To be competitive with the all-new fleet of compact cars in America, at least one model will need to hit 40 mpg on the highway.

Boo, I say leave the classics just that, classics. It's bad enough their calling the rebodied 300 a Charger, sorry but there were never any 4 door Chargers, if anything they should name them Satelites. JMO.



Hell Chevy didn't make the Camaro a 4 door, Ford didn't make the Mustang a 4 door, if they did they'd loose alot of business and respect.

:smack:

Probably a re-skinned Avenger:throwup:...

Probably a re-skinned Avenger

That's what I was thinking. Not fooling anyone.



Also, all the things Jerry said.



The only Chrysler product I'd buy would be a Jeep Wrangler (or truck if they ever make another), but it'd be used and go through all kinds of changes, including diesel conversion and all. Basically, I'd pull all Chrysler parts besides the frame and body and make my own vehicle.

My wife's Dodge Ram is actually a pretty decent truck. It's been very reliable, and the only problem I've had is I need to replace the factory Goodyears at less than 60,000 miles. If it just wasn't so stinkin' big! It barely fits through the garage door. It doesn't matter, though, since it's too long to shut the door with it inside!
