Most of you are probably like what Dodge Dart? Isn't that a classic muscle car?

Well yeah it used to be. Turns out that Dodge is making a Dart once again, and introducing it at the NAIAS as a sport compact.

Here is the link for more info on the Dart - http://www.dodge.com/en/dart/

Now, the reason I chose this car to compare because they claim this:

GROUNDBREAKING COMPACT CAR.
THE ULTIMATE BLEND.

Dodge redefines performance in the compact car segment with an all-new, state-of-the-art four-door sedan delivering class-leading aerodynamics. The all-new 2013 Dodge Dart is a thoroughly modern vehicle that's fuel-efficient, beautifully designed and crafted, agile and brings fun back to driving in the segment.

ALFA ROMEO DNA

The all-new Dodge Dart blends Alfa Romeo DNA & Dodge's passion for performance. Dodge Dart is adapted from the award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The Giulietta is renowned for satisfying the most demanding customers in terms of road-holding, agility and safety, with exceptional driving dynamics. The Dart leverages all of these attributes within a lengthened and widened platform delivering segment-leading levels of interior roominess.

UNMISTAKABLE TECHNOLOGY AND STYLE.

The all-new 2013 Dart delivers unmistakable Dodge design that builds upon its performance heritage while evoking emotion, efficiency and fluidity of movement. Eye-catching exterior proportions are set off from every angle by dynamic lines and curves, along with advanced technology, to deliver class-leading aerodynamic performance.

SOPHISTICATED,
POWERFUL FUEL-EFFICIENT ENGINES.

The 2013 Dodge Dart will be powered by three fuel-efficient, powerful, state-of-the-art four-cylinder engines that add to Dart's fun-to-drive quotient and provide the most diverse powertrain lineup in its class. Choose from a new Tigershark 16-valve 2.0-liter, a 16-valve 1.4-liter MultiAir® Intercooled Turbo, and a new Tigershark 16-valve 2.4-liter MultiAir® four-cylinder engine.

So what do you guys think? A competitor, even if it may be FWD?

Edit: Sounds like they are taking straight jabs at the AS1

Interesting. Another cheap AWD 300+ hp turbo lightweight sedan is always welcome.
