FWD cars are better in the real world for traction and for weather, and at least here in the US people suck at bad wether driving...well, they suck at driving period. I'd rather them be driving FWD vehicles than RWD, and here in the northeast my 01 Sebring coupe and 00 300M have no issues getting around...but the 05 Charger has massive issues, even with ABS and ESP.
srt4 neons w 3-5k in mods will butt rape any old hemi dart at drags....you old guys need a history lesson on current world affairs, start w a trip to your local dragstrip and see 120-125mph neons that are daily drivers....id like to see awd/moddable SRT4 Dart
@buttmanroad dude, the challenger is a failure whether you like the design or not. If they keep designing cars like that we will end up bailing them out again. Having it right is refraining from doing the RETRO thing and designing for the times. We live in 2012 not 1975.
I don't mean to be a douche by any means but in the description is says "fill the gap left by the neon", Uhm...the dart is replacing the caliber which replaced the neon in 2006.. Jus' sayin'.
@johnwarnerrox LOL, you are correct, I think we can all agree that from the plymouth neon to the 90's neon r/t to the srt-4 neon, the caliber sucked and the neon was pretty damn good......quirky car that isn't for everybody, but it was one fun ride:)
@capecodcuda Why the FWD hate? Just trying to get enlightened here. I always thought FWD was good for when you have to deal with snow covered conditions, of which RWD would be a nightmare in. Thanks in advance.
@originaldriver Nobody builds a compact with RWD, unless it's a very high end luxury type vehicle. If you want RWD you are gonna have to fork over more $. That's the state of affairs today.
@originaldriver. If it's based on the Giulietta it's front wheel drive i'm afraid. Shame non of these manufacturers can bring out smaller rear wheel drive performance cars any more. Apart from BMW have a look at the M1
Look at the sales of that BMW 1M they sold all 739 straight off the line with 1 being used as the pace car at Daytona 24 Hr race. If a small expensive car like that can sell so fast why are not the american car manufactures doing what they did in the 60's and giving us American versions of Euro Exotica at a fraction of the price. Makes sense to me
@topefisher1 I was hoping that someone was going to make a fun RWD small compact for a change. Its not elegance, or "exotica" that draws me to a car. Its platform... plain and simple.
A car is essentially a metal frame with 4 wheels under it. Give it a lively AWD or RWD layout, responsive but livable suspension and a sporty engine option (maybe an N/A 220hp or more) and you have something epic.
This is just a re-dressed commuter car. (I could be wrong of course since Ive never driven one.)
My uncle met the designer of this car because of his job and he said it looks really nice and looks like a smaller baby version of the new charger and is going to take the spot of the caliber in dodges' lineup
Hey stop the complaint.!!! This is a finally a nice and sporty Dodge Neon !!! I miss that car and I hope that all Caliber get to the junkyard ASAP !!!! :-)
I have a 72 dodge dart....I wished if they where gonna do a compact car they would call it something else and make the new dart with a hemi and better looking
Why did they use the the interior of the Redline Edition Charger? I love the look and glad they have a turbocharger option. I can't wait until my local dealer gets one of these so I can get a good look at it. Finally a sporty looking, driving, and fuel efficient small car!
Alfa Romeo car sold as a Dodge...thats about as bad as it can get...its like automotive blasphemy. Using technology from Alfa and putting it in some cheap Dodge makes my heart hurt. Every piece of technology in this car (suspension, platform, engines, gearboxes...) is like in Alfa Romeo, and then Dodge will market it as their own car... Fiat never should have bothered with buying Chrysler and Dodge IMHO, because they will just suck all the technology out of Fiat and give nothing in return.
@derbigpr500 Will you shut the fuck up. Do you even know anything about chrysler and the automotive industry, or are you just talking out of your ass. This vehicle has not not even been test driven or even been on the road yet. Who are you to judge? Do you know how much " technology " Europian companies and even asian companies copied from american cars? they just made it better and called it their own.
That 1.4t engine is going to run! I like the cruze, but for 24k, its not worth it. This should be 1/2 the price and probably drives better. What song is that?
that interior shot is the Charger interior.
