Either way, the new “Darts” share nothing with the venerable Dodge Dart heritage.
Wait until someone notes the similarity with their new name and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Leftist heads will explode!
Don’t tell me they want to bring back the “Chrysler Newport” name too.

I disagree, they are both enhanced versions of an economy car, and they will both fall apart and rust out after seven or eight years.
