Nice looking car. The reviews of the Dart have been pretty decent. It will interesting to see which engine they put in it. I'd like to see at least 250 h.p.
250 hp for a FWD economy car? Why?
Considering the Neon SRT4 was good for about 210-220whp stock, this new SRT car should have at least that kind of power.

The Focus ST comes with 252 hp, the MS3 with 263 hp, so it is likely the new SRT-4 will be competitive, numbers-wise. I'm not saying it won't exist, I'm asking why someone with experience driving RWD cars would like to see a FWD economy car with 250 hp. It's not somehting I'm ever going to buy, so whether it has 100 hp or 500 is irrelevant. If I wanted a FWD economy car, I wouldn't want over 200 hp because at that point it's not an economy car, it's a wrong-wheel-drive muscle car. Why buy FWD if you are looking for power and handling, and why buy a car with a high-output motor if you are looking for economy?

The re-birth of the Neon using an old name plate is about exciting as watching paint dry.

Nice try Dodge.

I don't care and never will about the regular neons but I do miss my srt sometimes. It was a great little car for what it was. Cheap as fawk to make fast and damn they can take a beating lol. I was never hurt by the " Its still a neon" comments, they just made me lulz.

Didn't the SRT caliber have 300hp? Anyways looks way better than the caliber but dodge makes crap. Can't wait to have these pieces of crap reving at me and driving like morons.

I think it looks good. The regular Dart is good looking too. The sport compact market is getting pretty interesting.

The Dart is supposedly based off the alfa romeo giulietta platform, so its not a true dodge like the traditional srt lineup.

No offense but have you ever worked on this car or are you jumping to conclusions? You very well may be right. The car didn't do that well in the only review I've seen but that's hardly the same as POS.
