This is probably by far the best car in its class...
Guietta chassis, Fiat Multi-air 1.4 Turbo, 6 speed DCT, instrument panel just like the current S class, keyless go, automatic climate control... and all this for 15k?

That storage space under the seat doesnt look all that big. Not sure what I would use it for...

If it is selling for 15-16k then I think its alright. Good for someone who just wants a fairly roomy car to get from point A to B. I expect to see a lot of these around lol.

It looks okay.

That's where ya put the Sneaky Pete NOS bottles yo'

Hhaha

That's how I felt about the 4door Charger when it was first introduced. I was not pleased at all. But it grew on me, eventually. And much like the Charger, I'm sure this will grow on people too.

The new Charger never grew on me. Blech.

LOL

I don't like the new Dart either...

The new dodge fart obviously came straight out of the unwashed asshole of a crappy auto manufacturer. They were borderlining bankruptcy for a reason.

Cool Dodge remade the older Focus. How innovative.

pyro530 · 05-30-2012, 06:29 PM

Although I miss my SRT-4 Neon, I'm not super excited about the styling of the new Dart. I will say that the spec sheet looks very impressive. Who knows, maybe it will grow on me.

I'm not a Neon guy personally

But this thing look pretty damn cool!

It looks ok. Pastrana's name makes it cooler though.

The back is just a copy of the charger:

I'm tired of the current trend of car companies thinking they need to make all their cars look the same instead of, you know, good. I mean, I don't think it will hurt FRS/BRZ sales because it doesn't look like some ugly ass impreza or camry.

FT86Katsu · 05-31-2012, 01:23 PM

neon = ugly
dart = ugly

should have brought back neither of them..

i would rather have a cobalt than a neon any day

Mitch · 06-02-2012, 03:00 PM

Am I really in that small of a minority to think this is a good looking little car? Sure, it's not super sporty, but most people don't need or want that. I'll be honest, if this car had been on the market when I was shopping for my first car, it'd probably have been in the top five.
