I have noticed the new Dodge Dart is offered in some cool (different) colors. Today, one was traveling toward me and I swear the whole car looked like it was covered with painters masking tape.
Seems the color is called Laguna Blue.
Sample:

They also offer Citrus Peel and Header Orange

(images lifted off google but I chose these because they were not "studio shots")

I've seen the orange one in person. Still didn't feel even the slightest urge to buy one.

The blue is so ready for some of this...

I really like the wheels that come on those. I wonder if they will bolt onto my CSX?

I'm not sure they will, I hear tell they're some sort of really weird Fiat bolt pattern, 5xItalian...

I really like the Dart. If we were looking at replacing the Saturn with something new, it would be on our short list. The colors available make what would be a boring car otherwise a little more fun.

I can't wait to see a blue one jacked up with dubs on it. Around here, that's a crack deal away!

IMHO the Dart is a really nice car for the price.

Just drove one tonight. 1.5L turbo/6spd. We were impressed. Nice car for the money. Really quiet interior (compared to the Mini).

The citrus peel color is a lot like the NYG neons, a bit lighter though. The one my dad has is really faded, I have been meaning to go get a pic of it parked with a citrus peel dart though.

If only you could get one in Nitro Yellow Green!

Bolt pattern is 5x110.

Gotta give them credit for naming a color after an example of poor paint quality, though

Its the skittle replacement, what did you guys expect. I still think its heavily related to the Lancer.

I like all of those colors. I'm glad manufacturers are offering colors other than silver and shades of grey.

I looked up the curb weight on one of these before for the 1.6t and I remember it being recorded higher than my WRX. I thought that was quite insane.

In reply to kanaric:
I looked at one in the local mall . It's not a small car, in my world it's a mid-size vehicle.

I saw one in that Citrus Peel color the other day. Hotness.

They need to make a hatchback/wagon version.

I saw an Orange one this morning, it was quite bold, looks like an automotive candy

Personally I like Blue streak better:

The car is the same size as my wife's '98 cutlass. Her car was considered a mid size in '98. Now the Malibu is a midsize, but it is almost the size of the older full size Buick century.

Only problem with the Dart is that it's 17-22k for less power and "new" interjected Euro "weirdness" on top of the locked down nuclear secrets Chrysler is famous for. Unless it can knock my socks off, I'd rather have a Cruze, even though I really, really, really want the Dart.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't call the colors Petty Blue, Sub Lime, and Go Mango, as long as they're reviving classic names.

I'd be interested to see a GRM review of the new Dart.

Considering the fact that pretty much no cars have 5x100 bolt patterns anymore, my guess would be "no."
