Dodge Dart compact priced at just $15,995. First real life photos from Detroit show
Wow at that price. The 184hp model should be plenty peppy.

I hate the fact that they used the Charger tail lamps on the Dart. Come on...where is the originality?

love. my. car.
|
holy crap they will offer it in 12 exterior colors??? and they can't even offer a good or any blue for the Camaro...
I'm still afraid to buy a Fiat. I'll wait a few years for reliability trends to start showing up before buying anything from the "new" Chrysler... The car looks nice though. I'd probably want it if I were a girl. It's very cheap and looks fast.

Wow that price is amazing! I expected low 20,000 range not this. But I have to say I dont care much for the design of this car at all. I dont like how they just copied the back end of the Charger & Challenger it just screams like they ran out of ideas. Why not give it the proper tail lights like any other car in this segment? I will say this right now though- CHEVROLET STEP UP TO THE PLATE WHEN IT COMES TO EXTERIOR COLORS ON YOUR VEHICLES! IT IS PATHETIC THAT THE CAMARO STILL DOESNT HAVE A PROPER BLUE COLOR OR OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES FOR THAT MATTER- AND THE EXCUSES ARE GETTING OLD ESPECIALLY WHEN FORD JUST DEBUTED THE NEW FORD FUSION IN A BLUE HUE ALONG WITH ALL THEIR CARS.

You can definitely see the Fiat influence in the design....I like it. As far as Fiat reliability, I lived in Italy for nearly 6 years and trust me, Fiat had a great reputation....they weren't and aren't the most beautiful in the world, but reliable they are. I hope Dodge puts their SRT turbo 4 in this car and you will see folks flock to the new Dart...way to go Dodge!

Not sure why people were expecting it to start in the low 20s. It's a compact. The rest of the segment starts in the teens.

I liked when they decided to make the Chargers tail lights like that but doing to the new compact Dart is going a little too overboard with it. They risk people getting tired of this design on all the cars. We will see how well this car translates into sales for Dodge I guess.

I think, like GMs 4 pot tails, it is just a theme which I think looks fantastic, actually maybe a little better on the little dart. I just don't see plain old singular boring taillights looking better. Really it makes me think more 1st and second gen Eclipse than anything else on the dart. |

Loving the interior. Very modern and functional. The front seat storage is awesome. But the exterior is kind of just meh... The tail lights look alright, I like them since I'm a fan of the Charger's tail lights. But the front reminds me of a Hyundai, with the exception of the grill. The headlights just come too far back on the sides.
