2013 Dodge Dart: 2012 Detroit

[youngrasheed314]

If I remember correctly, the Dart was a compact car with a slant 6 as standard. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

[krocialblack]

A lot of old school American Muscle car guys are pissed off because they named this thing the Dart?

Really? Is this what all the whining on all the car forums is about? For god sakes, grow up people.

[BOREDfromX2z]

since chrysler SRT6 fail horribly last time, maybe this time they should made this an SRT-6 with a turbocharged pentastar :)

[SSamu5]

deberían sacar el neon srt-4 de nuevo !

[omarbigo57]

the back LED light looks so sick

[IkeTurnersghost]

it's like a revamped neon, nice

[TheHumiliator1000]

They shouldn't have named it the Dart if it didn't come with a V8. That thing looks like the new Dodge neon, not the Dart. The Dart was known as American Muscle with sleeper like appearance, kinda like the old Al Bundy car. That thing looks like the new Hyundai sonata or something.

[moparenthuz]

@TheHumiliator1000 you are an idiot.

[Cubology]

At least it doesn't have manual sliding windows.

[XxGlobaldance22xX]

So scion fr-s ftw??

[coloradopolice]

cheap.good mpg .good looking its a win win win

[xXBakerXx6699]

:(



[DocWolph]

If you've never driven a modern ALFA Romeo, it's just something to boast about. Since I don't know, I can't argue, but I bet everyone is expecting a slot car when the Dart hits (yeah. pun).

[MrSmokinhotdude]

i will buy this car day one if all goes well i need a break from the hemi lol

[arandomguy0569]

to all of the people who see the true beauty of this car, don't worry because the industry and most of america is behind us, we need not defend the car because it does that well on its own. to all of u hating, please invest in a better resolution computer, because that 98 Macintosh is really messing with your head lol

[DualofChaos]

Ironically it looks better than the Alfa Romeo it shares its platform with. Sad to see Alfa Romeo dropped to nothing. Well at least Dodge has a desireable economy car now!

[2000mirageDE]

Alfa hardly, Neon likely

[kevrod71]

Sexy

[camouflagecamaro99]

I want a big muscle car with a big block V8, not this thing. Why don't they just bring alfa to north america?

[sugarisgoodness]

They've done an excellent job on this one.

[route66rocks]

Wtf we are only 11 days in 2012 and the are making cars out of the future 2013 come on man

[arandomguy0569]

@route66rocks not sure if im getting what you said but the 2013 model year starts in mid 2012 so this means the dart will be hear around june of 2012 maybe even earlier so its a car for less than 6 months from now. but i may have misunderstood you so sorry if i did

[route66rocks]

@arandomguy0569 well i mean that we are stil in 2012 and the are making 2013 models, why dont they just say its a 2012 model. In the beginning of 2011 i saw (on a video of carblogger.aswell) and that was a 2013 caddilac ...something i just think its strange that they do that

[fp3shb]

Okay MotorTrend really needs to get rid of the annoying revving engine noises in the beginning of all their videos.

[m1sterfan]

i think the Focus ST's more appealing if that's going to come to America.

[MrTurbo4G63T]

dodge FART

[kirk0respite]

@MrTurbo4G63T lol

[Unosorlie]

Disgrace to the old Dart, wtf is this shit?

[Mananui1]

wasn't the dart a muscle car??? this is fugly too -__- jeez dodge whats up?

[Lockjaw78]

@Mananui1 the Dart was always a small car. They just shoved big engines in everything back in the day. Maybe they'll SRT-4 it and make it quick.

[Mananui1]

@Lockjaw78 hmm i recall my uncle having a 1975 hang 10 model, it didn't seem like a small car, well i was around 4 years old at the time, i guess it would seem small

er now

[Lockjaw78]

@Mananui1 lol maybe I should have said small compared to the land yachts of the day.

[wendileona]

You were supposed to ROCK ME Dodge. ROCK ME.

This?

g...

[wendileona]

No ... sorry but no. No. Looks like an update to the Neon. No.

NO.

g

[mcfetty11]

@Pellageristic Yep, get over it. They know what they're doing. Oh, and when the entire exterior design, and interior is unique to a car, it's not called rebadging.

[Pellageristic]

They rebadged a 300 and called it a Charger, now they are rebadging an Alfa fucking Romeo and calling it a Dart.

[mjc12190]

Now that's a cool little car.

[The351King]

That's basically a dodge neon engine! Haha wow, people go watch the new Shelby mustang with 650hp and tops out at 200mph! Ya so don't talk no shit on it

[wwaalltthheerr]

the symbiosis of 2 worst things ever - Dodge and AlfaRomeo- the most rustiest meet the most unreliable

[CityFlashLights]

They should have made it a coupe, dodge already has 2 sedans, no coupes

[pwnageness]

"cept for that Cadillac" LMAO

[beargreenpath]

Like Motortrend said "Most important car of the show"... That's right. Great job Dodge !!!

[AgujaAzulMD]

So where is it made? Detroit or Italy?

[fordrocks20]

THIS IS NOT A DART!

[InChristAloneForever]

@fordrocks20

IS NOT INTENDED TO BE LIKE THE OLD DART!

Wow, you HAVE to pick on the name...

[fordrocks20]

@InChristAloneForever Why didn't they just use a different name then?

[InChristAloneForever]

@fordrocks20 Dart works just fine, people recognize it as a good memory of the good Dodge days lol What do want it to be called?

[fordrocks20]

@InChristAloneForever I don't care what they call it. I just think that if they're going to name a new car after an old car it should in some way resemble the original. I like this car. I just don't like how they reused the name of a totally different vehicle.

[oldschool1]

Looked like a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid from the front. Nice to hear it's related to the Alfa. I'm not impressed with Italian car reliability, however.

[datpimpinboy]

OMG I love this!!! Before watching this, I thought my favorite compact car was the Lancer/Lancer Evo and maybe then the Elantra, but this is just amazing. I gotta wait to see what Mitsubishi does with the Lancer, because id really consider buying this with the 6 speed manual.

[ExistUNDRGROUND]

Cool wave there at the beginning, bro.

[ModestNeophyte]

They should just go ahead and call this the Neon.. The Caliber is something Dodge should just try to forget.

[itsTiLER]

that front overhang is too big. needs to be shortened a little.

[DaveDude571]

More like dodge fart

[InChristAloneForever]

@DaveDude571

care to explain?

[mrabhijeet15]

this is thing is just amazing.

[ModeratelyLucid]

Wow. I am very impressed. I can say I would consider purchasing this car. Kudos to Dodge /Fiat... keep 'em coming.

[gtilover11]

Just because its small doesn't mean it has to be deemed an economy car. Take the GTI as an example. Who knows, this may be a really fun car. It IS an Alfa

[lesher27]

I've never seen such an over-hyped car. This car is a new generation neon/cobalt. Poor mans "sports car"

[mancini2468]

I'll take one with a Slant-6 225 please. Be sure to give me a couple spare of those porcelain ballast resistors to keep in the glove box. Oh, and a can of wire dryer.

[d7oom977]

rear wheel drive ?

[menofat1]

@d7oom977 lol nope it just an economy car

[banddude121]

Wow. A good American car. Might be a first car for me if i can get it.

[beargreenpath]

Super nice car... Everything a Dodge Dart stands for. Quality, efficient and super fun. Great job Dodge !!! P.S. looks cool too.

[lesher27]

@beargreenpath quality? Go look at the consumer reports; their quality and reliability are way below average.

[Pandanobear]

@beargreenpath Dodge? Quality? Lol. Good one. 

[lastpally]

This and the Ford are the nicest. New a replacement for my Saturn ion LOL.

[manofthehour114]

It doesn't do any justice to the old Hemi Dodge Darts of the 70's.

[gilldoom]

I hope Dodge shows the new Demon at the Chicago auto show.

[Ultimatemxcn]

This is the most important car of the show easily.

[andruha11234]

looks like a vw scirocco from the front

[TacoManTuesday]

damn everyone is going for the Lancer look...

[ProphetSheldonW]

WOW......THEY COPIED THE MAZDA 3 AND CHANGED SOME THINGS HERE AND THERE!!.........GREAT JOB CHRYSLER...... -_-

[ryanmxn]

Wow, a Chrysler vehicle that isn't ugly and generic. I'm impressed!!

[chinchillawrangler]

u guys saying it needs a v8 are retarded....thats like putting a v8 in a focus or a corolla....which is never gonna fuckin happen

[ryanmxn]

@chinchillawrangler I agree man. This car is to small for a V8. They should put a turbocharged V6 in it.

[CountStoczkowski]

I just wish they would make it look oldschool like the challenger. Why is the challenger the only one to look the part? The charger was disappointing and now this. I like it but looks like any modern car. Thumbs down on style and four door.

[iiMGorgeousBabii]

Looks cool I like the back.. I hope it's the next SRT4 they're are going to make. I loved the previous SRT4s (Neon and Caliber), just please make it RWD or AWD

[LJ23DW03]

@iiMGorgeousBabii Seeing as how both the caliber and neon were fwd a rwd dart won't happen unfortunately! I'll be surprised if they even go ahead and make a srt version..

[mustangman442002]

People, it's the replacement for the Caliber. Obviously it won't have a V6 and RWD, much less a V8. The original Dart was sold most often with a slant 6, and was the economical and practical choice of Dodge, much like what they're hoping this will become.

[chicorompecabesa]

That remineds me of a Neon.

[InsurgenceRX]

I hope this car fails.. it sucks. I am rooting for GM to make the the Code. Now THAT is a car I would buy. Not this Fiat junk...

[Lambo6fo]

@InsurgenceRX GM is junk. lol

[oOoironhideoOo]

i think that the dark gray metallic color is the only one that brings out all the great lines of this car

[MrThatguy122]

make it rwd with eather a v6 or v8

[MrThatguy122]

@cb7pwn you can tell by just looking at it, you tool.

[i010524]

"Giulietta... a small wagon.." say what???????

[typhoon5000]

Lieberman looks funny in a suit and tie. Doesn't fit him well. LOL

[tenshi240]

did anyone else click because they thought it was going to be kevin smith?

[h0useh3ad]

dodge cars are so ugly and they all suck !!!

[y571]

Sexyyyyyyyyy

[willowcairns]

I can't wait to not to drive it

[123gwf]

#1 Rule of All Auto Shows = The more desirable a car is, the more likely you will never see that car on any dealer's lot.

[blood117]

Now all it needs is a V8 and RWD option, and then it will have the right to be called the Dodge Dart.

[1LoudMerc]

@blood117 doubt there will ever be a V8 option for something this small. The closest the Dart will ever get to having a high performance engine will be an SRT-4 version. The Dodge Dart here to alot of people, is a replacement for the Dodge Neon SRT-4!

[MrOdogowen]

i also heard that the dart is going to get a 9 speed tranny in 2013

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

Only in america would you stretch a wagon to make a sedan.

[Windgrace]

@PACKyourSHITfolks420 So true! They should bring the wagon over, or make a hatchback from the new stretched design!

[projectdoom2]

@PACKyourSHITfolks420 I remember seeing a sketch a while ago about a new dodge compact, even though this is it, the sketched was a hatchback, but it looked similar to this. Hopefully this might come in a hatchback version.

[MultiGameKing101]

It looks like a Alfa Romeo

LOL

(It still looks nice and a great car all around)

[surfboardhacker]

bring back the duster!

[aramir71]

still think the Alfa looks a lot better

[FanDeAlguersuari]

nice, we 've the Dart back.

I hope it will be better than the Fiats of today

[mrbigtian]

it looks sick, i might consider getting one! Sexy American car!

[Zerolagg]

It looks really nice!

[Steve8518]

So it has the handling of a dart and reliability of an alfa?

[VIRAJ818]

I like it :)

[chinkysti2006]

I like the old school dart better

[jdprx230]

I thought it comes with a 9-speed automatic gearbox as well...

[camaroman101]

@jdprx230 that will be coming as an eco model later in 2012

[airjaff]

being an alpha romeo is nothing to boast about!

[btevoxboy6835]

nice, for a fuckin dart -_-

[pincheneo]

i like it. i been waiting for US auto makers to make cool small cars.

[zachzuke247]

this car disgusts me

[TheSavageman420]

thing looks like a yaris sedan

[rolandbuntea]

fuck this holy sentiment towards the name of some "iconic", old, american pile of shit. this new dart is only thing that's made me consider buying a chrysler product which isnt a mini van

[Acidicheartburn]

The rear end is disgusting and the wheels are way too tiny.

[nerdypielover]

Its a disgrace, pretty much all it is, a disgrace to the dart name.

[xharadexxx]

aii sim

[MrOsvaldito3]

i´m dodge fan, but this car is horrible

[bmark0610]

i would never buy that car

[RayShephard]

Dodge Fart

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Joetben]

yeah but it wont drift

[P3naz89]

Wow nice car!

[rivercrestcolts55]

put a hemi in it, or no one cares
