I'm optimistic. It looks like the new Dart could have that excitement factor to make people want to own it, like cars used to have. I was never a big fan of the Caliber even though I know it wasn't a bad car.
Boy, I agree with you about not being wild about the caliber. But....I know it's always easy to bash these new cars with the resurrected names of our old faves. I don't wanna go there. I thought it was kinda sad how the GTO fared, getting hammered by all the old classic GTO owners and the press alike. But if the new Dart's a POS, then I'll call them on it. I'll just give it a fair shake from the git-go. Hey, bringing back the Dart name is better than just letting it fade into oblivion, IMO.
I just hope they do it justice. The body styling almost looks like it could be a continuation of the SRT-4 Neon body style in a way. That would be cool.
