Yes, the 6 speed auto. Simply put the 2.4 in the Sonata, for example, is related to the 2.0/2.4 in the dart so hookup is farly easy. This makes sense wince the 6 speed will only be in the dart for around a year until the ZF 9 speed auto becomes available sometime in 2013. The 6 speed manual and the 6 speed DCT transmission (this on only with the 1.4T) are both Fiat units.

BUY the Hyundai Veloster- Those cars are awesome looking I have seen many in person at the local Hyundai dealer here. I was impressed with the way the vehicle looked and to me the new Dodge Dart just looks boring and it was a dumb move for them to keep putting the orange length lights on the back. Everything stock looks better on the Veloster from wheels to everything. I saw a new Dodge Charger with the new backend at night a couple weeks ago and those lights look hideous at night time it just looks cheap in my opinion.

How does LED lighting look cheap? You are certainly in the Minority. Anywho, the Volester is nice, but definatly drive it first as reviews have been mixed. I would definatly wait for the turbo modelbecause it should not only have more power, but the handling and steering is supposed to be better too with only like a 1 MPG penalty in fuel mileage.

The LED lights on the back of the Charger/Dart look waaaaay better than the absolute failure of cohesive design the Veloster displays. Truly one of the most hideous pieces of machinery ever conceived.

None yet, we're waiting for her to take her nursing boards and start working as a nurse.

Your opinion doesn't make it fact. I feel the same as you except about the dart.
My opinion doesn't make it fact either.

Of course it's my opinion, I said it. Do I need to preface everything I post with, "In my opinion"?

Wow you have to be the ONLY human being on the planet who ever existed, who would make that claim. It almost makes you come off as fanboy-ish. Just saying.

The Aztek easily lays claim to worst most offending vehicle ever produced.
More ugly than such wonder vehicles as the Gremlin, the Nissan Juke, Scion xB, Toyota FJ.
