well the dart, for a few years, had a smaller body. I don't remember which years though... so imo I don't see this being as such a stretch.

I honestly like the idea of dodge entering into the small car world... and to rebuttle kelsey's comment (with all due respect) the civic never had a turbo option.

I think the teaser pics make the car look badass. But b4 I would go looking for one, i'd need numbers regarding. Price

I took that card away YEARS ago when he wore my Tinkerbell sweatshirt that had Tinkerbell embroidered in pink on the front and the word Tink in green rhinestones on the back.....  Yes- I have a picture of this. And there was this other time I was folding laundry and I looked up to see him wearing a pair of my plaid knee length shorts. THEN he decided to see if he fit in my jeans... Sadly- no pictures of that
Why yes, I do drive a 2009 MINI Cooper S.

I am definitely a Smidget**

^Those things are made up...

I could go on for days about how manly I am, but who cares. This is just the interwebs... :pics:

Yup. What do I care if someone thinks I'm gay though? I mean, I DO have great fashion sense...

I completely agree Kelsey.  Granted, I like my Caliber but it doesn't compare to my old Neon.  I just hope they don't use the same CVT transmission as in the Caliber as it will severely limit the aftermarket tuning.  I'm so wishing I'd gone with a 5-spd.

From what I'm seeing of the pics, I think it looks pretty good.  Can't wait to see the interior next week.

HA! That was when we were driving into Vegas on our trek out to NC.

I have to agree with Tommy- People have met you in person... You do things that are a little on the fabulous side....

I believe losing the neon and putting the caliber in its place was dodge shooting themselvesin both feet...

The neon was great for what it was worth.... then the srt-4 and then it was further securing its place on the coffin list..

The caliber was eh to begin with, then the srt-4, which was slower in the 1/4 than the neon, made ppl not wanna get one.

I'm interested in seeing the interior as well.

the trans will be the Fiat-sourced 6-speed TCT (Twin Clutch Transmission) front-wheel-drive transmission, but by 2013.. when the Dart is suppose to be released it will have the new 9-speed transmission built in South Carolina by ZF Group.

So from everything I'm hearing, the dart will be a very small economy type car?
