Dodge Dart SRT getting AWD and turbo

[talisman]

American made WRX killa? Could be a pretty neat little car. Personally it just took them changing the name from Neon to Dart to make me start liking them. Nice to see the horsepower wars alive and well, and even being fought with the cheaper cars like back in the 60's and early 70's.


We're in the middle of Fiat Chrysler's announcement of their five-year plan, and while it isn't being broadcast online, some of the slides from the presentation are already up. Among the big news: a long awaited Dodge Dart SRT is coming. Finally!

This chart indicates an all-new Dart is coming in 2016, and it will come with the high-powered SRT version we have always wanted. Even better news: it will be all-wheel drive and turbocharged, according to sources at the announcement.

Pretty cool. I can't remember the last all wheel drive american compact. Time will tell if it's got that legendary dodge quality.

I'll take the Subi, because Dodge can eat my hairy asshole.

Inquiring tongues want to know?



100:1 that the Dart SRT (if it ever does see the light of day) will cost more, perform worse, and be lower quality than a WRX.

A quick turd on wheels just like the previous SRT-4s. No thanks, will gladly take a WRX over one or even a Focus ST.

No 5.0, no care.

To bad it's not the Challenger.

Keep in mind that this is a Fiat product now. You know the guys that own Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia and Maserati. They aren't going to be reusing 20 year old Mitsubishi drivetrains.

I thought the this Dart series was one of the worst cars on the road?

Compared to the cars in it's class sure but it's competing with Civics and Corollas. The worst cars on the road today are considerably higher quality than what Chrysler was selling before Fiat got involved.

The worst cars on the road today are mostly better than the best cars on the road 20 years ago.
