Dodge Dart replaces Caliber as 2013 model
This is the Dodge Dart, a new compact car based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Chrysler’s buyout by Fiat are finally paying dividends.
Details are sketchy at this point as preliminary information leaks out. The red Dart is the R/T model while the white Dart is a Limited model. It is based on a enlarged version of the Alfa platform to fit fatter Americans.
Chrysler has already announced three different engines, including a 2.0-litre, a 1.4-litre “MultiAir” turbo and a 2.4-litre “MultiAir”, all 4-cylinder motors. A 9-speed automatic transmission may become optional on some, alongside a 6-speed manual and another automatic.
More on the car will be revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. So far, it is unknown if the Dart is destined for GCC markets.

a worthy cruze competitor…
Avinas
How can someone call it as a competitor for cruze?? Check the specs first.. and also the design. The only negative for this car tat too from the US is engine not warming up at minus degrees (which is not a worrying factor here as we live in a desert). Else everything is in favor.. good power and superb engine response!! 2.4 T is also available tat too wit 180+ bhp. Wat else u need for 65,000-90,000 range???

nice car, but there no point in calling it a Dodge Dart. There is absolutely no DNA between the original ‘Dart’ and this car. Dodge did well with the DNA on the Charger and Challenger – hence their names. But this ‘Dart’ is just a small sporty car – abeit a nice one. Call it something else, like the “Veloce” or “Sportivo” or “Carino” … it’s never going to be a ‘Dart’ to me. I drove a 1967 Dodge Dart.
