I think the 1.4 is the all the time turbo one, but I'm not sure.

I've been driving them for 3 months. Trust me, this is NOT the big brother to the Neon. It's in a whole different league. Can't wait for the SRT version

I can't wait to see a GRM review of one - preferably one with the new Tigershark motor, as I've been wondering if it's all it's cracked up to be.

Dart's don't hit bullseyes, JAVELINS do!

All joking aside, the new Dart seems like a really good car. I can't wait to go test drive one. Maybe I should play hookie at the Dodge dealer after a work meeting on that end of town today and see if they've got one yet.

Oh come on, Marchionne has been kicking some ass since taking over, I don't think they'll do anything stupid. I mean look at the lineup of new stuff: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Chrysler 300, Chrysler 200, Dodge Charger, and the Dodge Dart are all significantly better than the cars/trucks they replaced and have at least been arguably at the top of their class heaps as well. Oh, and the Viper.

I just had to throw that out there.. Chrysler is notorious for building a small that everyone loves... and then replacing it with something big that nobody wants

In reply to Javelin:

That lineup of new stuff - other than the Dart which I know little to nothing about - in no way excites me. I guess I need to google me up some dart info.

Couldn't you say that of about every car that's been made? Just look at the Mustang.
