This being called a Dart ....is like naming a Cobalt...a Corvair...le sigh.
This is cool looking small car . I think dart is an appropriate name since this is a dodge. Who cares what relation it has with a car from 40 or 50 years ago? Don't like it don't buy it! I bet them sell plenty of these. Oh and I own an srt 8 ie 392!
This isn't deserving of the Dart name. it looks like a bad mix of neon and "charger"
Guy below me pretty much summed it up, I say stop whining every company has a car like this
Why is everybody whining about raw power and pure performance. Every major manufacturer must have a small large volume seller with which it earns the bread. The sales of cars like these will help dodge fund R&D of the Viper.
Srt4 this and I will be happy! When are we getting the Srt6 back? Crossfire was too girly.
A variant of the late model Dart was once a 4 door before this. Nobody was whining then.
Embarrassment to the dart nameplate oh and surprise surprise it's a 4 door.
I keep comments saying that it looks good for what it is but it looks like crap. Just look at what it's based on the Alfa romeo guilietta, a very very pretty car. Dodge just felt like they had to change it because they are are idiots.
Just like with the Charger, they only brought back the name to sell cars. Neither have any relation to the old muscle cars we loved from the 60s and 70s. Way to piss me off again Dodge.
it looks like they took body styling from the neon. the dart is suoposed to be about performance speed raw power this looks like something i would find in a cracker jack box sorry dodge i may own a dodge ram. ( back when ram still was a dodge) but i disappointed me woth this one
Love the looks. But the grill is not my cup of tea. It's ok for a truck or something but not for a car
at the least they'd put a transverse v8 in it. like the new impala ss. let's just pray is will be rwd
This looks like they stole hyundais fluid sculpture headlights and vw golf body. Way to go.
Later models to keep up with the muscle car trend so actually this is off to a very accurate start to replace the dart
Ya the original dart was first designed and marketed as a small economy car, the giant hemi and other v8 options werent available until
@Sean- the original Dart came in a two and four door, and is known for being a light two door drag car. Check your facts, I have a '72 two door in my garage haha.
The least dodge could do is make a srt-6 edition, add a turbo 6 and that's the closest this car will be to good, at least make a srt-4, cmon dodge
@ Sean yea but like why put a 4 cylinder in it? Atleast make a V8 version, or at the very least a V6 @jake yea I know they made that pretty crappy too at first but now I think it's the SRT8 charger that's pretty quick
This is light years ahead of any Neon or Caliber. What if they offer a new Swinger package now..
Just sad. Use another name like peep or squeak not Dart! And how about the fast and furious seat storage on the passenger side?
I feel like they tried too hard with the design i think it's ok and that's all
The teasers made the front look more mean then what it really is.
It's like a car that makes me look at it twice, to see of I like it or not. Hood and lights reminded me of a hyundai tiburon oddly
It looks good enough to buy over a S. Korean or Japanese car, which is really all that matters, aesthetically speaking.
@jesse the Dart from "way back when" was also available as a 4 door model. But I get what your saying (I think)
For what it is not bad but should be neon or caliber it doesn't deserve the dart name at all...
It's a dodge dart it's kinda a disgrace to the name to make it 4 door the original was amazing and fast now it's like it got a lobotomy and turned into this..... Why
Hmm, I think it looks okay, I was expecting something more, but it's defiantly not bad. I do agree with whoever said it looks better than the cruze, though.
Hmmm I like it. Not a lot but I think this will be competitive in it's segment. It's definitely different.
It looks alright, depending if you see this as a baby charger, it's terrible, if u see this as the avenger replacement, it's ok, looks better than the cruze IMO
Competition for the Chevy Cruze? I think the Chevy Cruze looks better but disappointed about its performance.
Description: And without much surprise, photos and a video have just been leaked only a couple of days before its official unveiling. Revealed here in R/T trim, the new Dart's chassis comes courtesy of th...

Common don't call it dodge dart when its slow don't forget it looks like you stole the idea from toyota
I think they forgot the day running led lights which are compulsory on the 2011 cars.
i hate dodge but this car i think looks relativly nice. atleast dodge is doing better than chevy. quality looks like it might be coming up.
I keep seeing the rt version and I'm thinking the base model will be a bloated Neon. Love the headlights but that's it.
@ Casey actually dodge makes amazing cars and have one of the best sales comebacks in the industry right now but good job just saying garbage with no facts
This car would look better if the made the front taller and more boxy so that it would be a mini charger.
Description: Power will come from a range of engines, including the new Tigershark lineup of small displacement engines, such as a 2.0-liter four-banger, a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo, and a 2.4-liter MultiAir. Judgi...

What kind of IDIOT put a four cylinder in it. Should be a muscle car. A big V8, duh
Every day we have to hear from people that have no idea how the automotive industry works. Chrysler had to build a car that gets 40mpg that was part of the agreement with the government
That turbo motor better sound like the srt4 motor though I know dodge fixed that sound which was dumb they should let it sound like that again ^_^
I guess dodge figured they had enough muscle cars I think if they wee gonna bring back the dart at least give it some power
The old Dart use to be a also a compact and the smaller engine was only around 100 hp for a inline 6... Not that different than the 2013 one!
It also came with a slant six. Lol. Relax. Im sure the SRT model will do the Dart name proud.
@jesse did you expect a muscle car? Have you been paying attention to the article? It sucks, but the dart is a compact now.
Why! The dodge dart used to have a 440 magnum now this! I don't like mopar but the dart was nice just why
Every country and every major automaker is concerned about fuel economy. Right now the world depends on fossil fuel...which means we are threatened by Middle-eastern companies because of our dependence on their products. Obama and other govt. officials want manufactures to produce cars that lessen that threat. We'll still have Ferraris, Corvettes, Mustangs and M3s...but we need cars like this to ...
Gov't regulation. Get over your HP selves and do something at the ballot box about the over regulation of you don't like it.
People, this car exists because Obama required Chrysler produce a 40MPG car for the US in order for the company to buy remaining stock. The next milestone in regulation is 50+ MPG. Car companies are being forced to produce the economic-box through
The entire fleet. If not for this they'd have to sell electric challengers and SRT wouldn't make it off the drawing board...
Besides, w/our Society & Government operating under the premise that it is the responsibility of auto-makers to end Global Warming by imposing CAFE standards, we should all be thrilled Detroit is doing so by selling these rather than watering down
Goodness Bull, it was NOT having a competitive car in this segment that nearly put the Big3 out of business entirely when gas hit $4/gal. In this car we are getting a rebodied Alfa, count your blessings & be happy we don't have to live w/the caliber
Agreed. Yes, the Charger, 300, and Challenger will be Chrysler/Dodge's best cars, but you have to have interesting little products to spark interest in the brand and meet EPA mileage requirements. Business 101. Poor name, solid car.
Bull, not everyone wants performance. No grandma is looking for a GTR, ZR1, or Shelby GT500. Your comment makes no sense. This is a different market segment. Its that easy.
Hey know it all. Used to take home paychecks from the auto industry. Got out because of stupid ideas like this. Amazing the hypocrisy that everyone wants PERFORMANCE, then stands up to defend another POS like this as if I brought your mother into it.
Looks like they took some styling from other cars and the put the dodge grill and tail lights on
The compact sedan class is more competitive than ever and you think American companies would just do nothing to capitalize on Toyota and Honda slipping up in a market they have dominated for years. I hope Bull doesn't become an executive for a Big 3 company.
@Cody Took the words right out of my mouth. The Chrysler resurgence was built on the backs of the Challenger, Charger, 300 - not another anonymous econobox. Let Toyota and Honda fight over this segment. Why do American car companies never learn ?
The taillights look good. All car makes want their car to be unmistakably recognized. Audi,BMW and more recently the Koreans understood that just to name a few
To you guys saying how the taillights are disappointing maybe Ferrari should change their taillights or BMW with their headlights.
Haha, In earlier posts people were griping that this should have looked more like a baby Charger, now we gripe that it looks too much like a baby charger.
This is disappointing. Now they are making all of their cars look the same.
Everybody thinks of a dart as a muscle car. With a v8 and aggressive looks. This really has nothing in common with that description. So it's not a bad car it's just not what people expected when they heard "dart"
It's all about the grill. It takes the refined touch away. Which is a let down for the gorgeous interior.That's why people prefer the white one over the red one. Otherwise it looks just as good in red.
I want mine in blue hatchback form. And guy the whole grill area an put a big S emblem in there in red and white I will drive Super Dart!
Looks better in white cause the crosshairs grill isn't prominent. The blacked grill just looks like a gaping mouth
@james they would get the other civic because the actual civic sucks. Honda has gone way down hill lately.
@Michael yeah let's just stick with the focus, there's nothing to see here, move along er' body
It's a Mazda3 that has been rehashed...still can't make a car worth anything.
Alright alright.. I can kinda dig it. Well.. No. Actaully I can't. Sorry. Rather have the focus RS
Seeing as this car is currently aimed towards good looks, thin tires are a must. Performance wise you have to strike a perfect balance between the pressure (contact patch size) and the thickness of the sidewall (thinner handles better around corners)
Tires like these are mainly for looks. The contact patch only varies with thesize of the wheel because of the lack of flex in the sidewalls. Thicker tires allow you to tune the contact patch to the weight of the car and whether itsdoing alot of turns
Low profile tires have less sidewall flexing during cornering and a larger contact patch. Since the tire is relatively narrow to the rim, they can put larger brake rotors on the wheel hub
And yet every new car in this segment has them as an option as well. I guess people buy them. Might as well not look like a nerd if you can only afford a sub 20k car... *shrug*
Low profile tires will last 6 months and end up costing more than the car itself while you make 60 months worth of payments.
Notice how when you change gears, you knock your drink out of the cup holder.
I do not like this car at all but I must say the interior is very solid looking. The only positive thing about this car.
Not a big fan of dodge in general I must say the interior is bang on. It's really refined and luxurious. Two words I usually wouldn't utter when talking about dodge. Nice one
@Teddy: take joy in every offered manual tranny, get pissed at the lack.
bugs me that they give this car a manual, but not a charger with a v8 that people actually want a stick in
Center consoles are always uncomfortable. Unless the sunroof is open you just NEVER have enough headroom. Ya gotta fight for foot space with people on both sides of you. Oh, and awkward moments when the male driver has to shift into 2, 4, 6, or R...
Dodge makes R/T models with manuals? Well now they might just make a proper car one of these days.
Calm down dude, it's still a c class car. I'm more worried about how this thing handles than its top speed
Oh.. So it's not suppose to be fast. Sorry. In all honestly I thought it was going to be something kinda different. Sorry
People this is a LIGHT band. Not an accent strip. Its an optional feature. If you don't like it. Don't pay extra for it
At least I hope you can actually choose from other colors. Let's say you opted for the white paint job. It would be nice to have the stripe white rather than red or blue
I think Dodges interiors WERE bad. I had an 06 Ram Sport for awhile and the interior as far as the dash and stuff wasn't that great. BUT, the leather seats were amazing. It had a Hemi and some 4.10 gears and that's all I cared about. Theyre great now
The interior looks good in the photo. I want to see what its like up close. Dodge interiors in my opinion are worse then gm. And we all know how great those ones are
Damn joey, you have good eyes. I like the fact that its a manual with a push button start. Thats a great interior for a c segment.
How could something so right go so wrong? The front has elements of Mitsubishi, The rear, Charger and the interior is GORGEOUS.. but the overall layout is about as exiting and avant-gard (sp?) as an egg. This one will not be memorable.
Their Super Bowl ad taglines will say "Imported from Turin" this year.
