Chrysler brings back the Dodge Dart
I think it looks better than that photochopped 2 door a few pages back, that's NOT what it looks like...
This is what it looks like-
Still, would have been nice if they gave the grille or taillights a tweak to pay a little homage.
But the 2.4 is the same 2.4 that was used in the Neon SRT4's, and with the "multiair" technology from Fiat will probably do better than the NA 2.4's that were in the PT Cruiser. Still, it would be nice to see a SRT 2.4 turbo again. The '04 SRT4 I had was pretty quick. Not big block A-body quick, but a fun car.
As far as all the bashing, Darts were ALWAYS economy cars. /6's, 318's were by far the majority. Yes, there were some racers, but for the most part the A-body's were grocery getters. And I'm guessing that 2.4 will probably put out more HP than the 318 did most years.
And its being built in the US, both the car and the engine. So, what's the problem? It isn't going to hurt us any, and we aren't the marketing audience anyway.
