New Dodge Dart shown before detroit

the side view is a deal breaker, the front and head on from the back look pretty good. It's like they tried to make it a hatchback with a conventional trunk, and something is just off about the slope of the line going from the rear to the side mirror. kinda reminds me of an eclipse.

imo if they had done this it would look a lot better, keep in mind im no artist:

I like it, looks decent enough for a little car. And the interior looks pretty sharp as well.

I think they did a great job. It's a cheap econo box and some how they managed to make it not embarrassing to drive in and also stick 2 LCD screens in the dash, tail light design from the more expensive car.

Not bad at all. And other than the chally, the only other decent looking car they have.
It's like they actually cared a little to make the car look normal and not like other cheap cars that all have some really ugly design elements on purpose because it's the cheap model.

Have you looked at prices for "econoboxes" lately? A loaded Cruze LTZ is around 26k, a loaded Focus Titanium is there or more, same for a Civic EXL, seems pricing should be pretty inline with everyone else.

I was surprised at the price of econoboxes as well. A loaded econobox costs more than a V6 Camaro or Mustang. Who would buy a loaded econobox at those prices?

The firsthing that came to mind when I saw it was "It's a better Neon replacement than the Caliber was..."

It is pretty shocking, Compacts are kinda the midsize I guess. Given, the quality and features they offer is 10x above the standard they used to be. guess it is a tradeoff. That said, if you are careful with options you can still get a decent little compact for around 20k or less (though that ios still a lot more than a compact used to be, damned inflation lol).
