At least the caliber is going bye bye. I know Ashley hated that car.

 

[jbeau]

I don't hate the car... I just disliked the rental one I had in California. It doesn't bother me whether it stays or goes lol.

Hmm, let's see:...
I would want my Dart with the 225 CID Slant Six, please!

Cheers!

Hmm, let's see:... Italian engeneered motors for Americans who expect their cars to thrive on neglect.

Sounds like a disaster in the making.

So true! It is a chrysler engine though, so that shouldn't be too bad. I would also like a slant six, but a turbocharged I-4 would be INTENSE! Dodge's hot hatch??

Agree, dart has better performance compared to caliber but i would trade my versa for it. It still has the qualities that i've been looking for.

Did anyone else see the motor trend clip yesterday of the dart? Engine choices include a 2.0, a 2.4, and a 1.4 turbo. I feel like 1.4 is too small of a displacement to be a viable performance line. Should've done a 1.8 turbo or a 2.0.

The juke use a 1.6 turbo and its effecient enough. a lot of companies are going to small displacment turbo motors.

1.4 Turbo is the Fiat engine I think. The others are Chrysler.

1.4 turbo is unquestionable especially with regards to performance and quality but just a fact that the auto maker has now the most advanced stuff to end up with better sales and reputation to the market.

 

[cody_kirk]

thats good to hear the caliber is going away, that thing is so ugly. also i'm not liking what im seeing or hearing for the Dart, wish they built it to resemble the old ones.

 

[snowball]

Yes Ben I think you are correct about the new Dart's engines.

Small turbo engines spend their whole [short] lives being overstressed; not good if you want to drive it many years.

The 1.4 turbo, being European engineered, most decidedly will NOT thrive on neglect!

Cheers!
