Dodge Dart: Savior of Chrysler?

I’ve written plenty of articles about the 2013 Dodge Dart. It’s hard not to with it being the hype surrounding it. Ever since the first concepts first appeared, it’s a been a long trail of every kind of of preview to get people excited for the resurrection of one of Dodge’s most popular vehicles. From what I’ve been reading and seeing with the articles written about the release, that campaign really seems to be working.

A great example of this comes in an entry with the Wall Street Journal. The writer begins the piece showing not a lot of love for past entries of Dodge into the vehicle class that the Dart is filling. It isn’t long before he shows that the Dart is everything the past cars weren’t. It has a sleek and sexy styling and shape. “The red Dart Limited (a higher trim level) turned heads and started more conversations than any $19,995 car I have driven in the last several years.”

What follows in the article is his review of his time with the Dart. He describes the Dart as “engaging and quiet except for a gentle growl from the engine’s dual exhaust pipes…” The review continues on about how much he enjoys the power of the engine. Another feature of the vehicle that he praises ends up being the interior work. Calling out items such as the shift knob and door handles as having a nice feel to them.

The writer comes away from the Dodge Dart with wide praise for it. He makes it clear that he didn’t have high hopes, not being a fan of Chrysler’s previous attempts at the small car market. The quality of the Dart has seemingly swayed his thinking in that this car finally gets right what he didn’t like. His final words on the matter really echo why people should be wanting to get their hands on the car, “In 10 years we may be talking about how the Dart saved the company.”

Dodge Dart: Hot New Sedan of the Year!

The Dodge Dart has been the car on everyone’s lips of late. Now that its finally starting to roll off of the assembly line, everyone is wondering if it was a good idea to resurrect the old name. There’s been so much hype poured into the new Dart that many are also wondering if it can live up to it. In about a month, the new sedan will start entering into the market and give it the chance to shine on its own. Luckily, the Chronicle Herald is hopping to boost up people’s expectations with a wonderful review. So much so, they believe that out of the 23 new cars in the category that the Dart will be the one people talk about.

Sitting down for a 2 hour test drive, the reviewer came away quite impressed. “I hadn’t driven a fairly basic version of the new Dart more than 100 metres before realizing this new car will be a player.” He continued to take note of the many innovations that the car is making including the body wider than its template, the Giulietta, to allow for a class leading interior space while still keeping the price down. Another feature he made sure to make note of was the gas efficiency of the Dart. One of the engine options, out of the three at release, has 60 miles per gallon.

It’s very clear from reading the article that the reviewer come out extremely impressed by what the Dart had to offer. It won on all counts from pricing, to exterior design, and even gas efficiency. It’s one to definitely keep driver’s eyes on. Personally, I can’t wait to see what happens when it finally hits the dealerships.
