Dodge Dart sales not doing well....

[Herr Faust Schinken]

ive driven a fiat 500 even with a little over 100hp its still fun and you can rev the balls off of it and still not do anything illegal , the dart I've sat in at the LA auto show, was a little too big for my taste but ill go test drive it to see how it goes but i do agree under 200hp for a hot small car is pretty weak

[Farbin Kaiber]

I owned two 2005 Neons, they were meh, a friend owned a Caliber, that thing was uber-meh. I expect the Dart to be as such.

The thing that gets me is that stupid commercials. I change the damn channel when that shit pops on.

[Deathtoll]

I dunno, I have no idea why they had to make it gutless. GTI has been around for years and it blows the doors off this car without paying a whole lot more.

As soon as I saw the highest model was going to be sub 200 horsepower I was already in MEH land.

I haven't seen the build quality or sat in one so I can't comment on that but if I see this in the show room I won't approach it because it just doesnt look interetsing enough.

I take a FIAT 500 over this any day... because it looks cool.

Wasnt BMW joining forces or were starting to work together with chrysler?? I read this somewhere a while back..

[Kevinl]

the commercials are so stupid they act like its a break through car when its just a rebadged alfa romeo

People used to say that about Hyundai....

It's hard to recover sales as a brand when you have a strong history, but turned to crap for a couple of decades. I'd imagine it's easier to recover when you start out crappy, and make an effort at improving.

I wonder what Brady thinks of these sales numbers and how it will affect his reputation.


Nevermind, he's probably balls deep in Gisele right now.

There's a reason I drive 80's cars.



















I'm poor.

Couldn't have been FWD because its a fiat based car. Also RWD sedan with 1.4 sounds like a joke where as coupe with Subaru boxer engine sounds interesting. Why is this thread worthy? Did any one expect this car to sale. Chrysler ruined its small car image a long time ago with K cars. They are literally the last manufacturer you think of when you think small car and this looks too much like a neon, a car every body hated, srt version aside. Honestly I still don't see whats so impressive about a FWD turbo neon. You can build a better car and start from a better platform, cheaper.

[Holland]

Keep in mind the Cruze has been around for a couple years and in the beginning the sales were just as dismal.

Give that car a couple years and sales will get better.

dodge should have made it rear wheel drive.

You'd need to talk to Fiat/Alfa about that, not Dodge.

[JasonC]

What's the target audience for these? Cause I know the older crowd looks down on it. And for me, someone who is a little older and has had a older Dart. Even though they was before my time. Look at them and just see a name that Mopar should of kept dead. They should of just reused the Neon name.

Hyundai didn't take a huge government loan to keep making shitty cars.
