1975: last year of Dodge Dart production prior to  replacement by the ill-fated Dodge Aspen

_______________________________________________

As the new Chrylser starts to hit it's stride, the resurgent company has now unveiled an all-new
2013 Dodge Dart at the Detroit International Auto Show with a fresh, clean look that still looks like a Mopar,
sharing a number of muscular styling cues with its big-brother, the Dodge Charger...

Didn’t the Pacer have one door longer than the other?

It’s amazing they were selling a car in 1975 that looked like it was designed in 1957.

Why does this “Dart” look like just another jelly-bean design?

All new sedans have that same body shape. Look at the Hyundai elantra and sonata, they both look exactly like that, from the same angle.

Copy-cat industry.

You know, the problem is that BlogAds serves up EXCELLENT ads... this is the first one they gave me with such a shady outfit.

Normally it’s TEA Party groups, books, self improvement videos, etc. The service is generally good too, that’s why I couldn’t just yell at them (it was my fault for not rejecting it before it went up, never had to check them in the past you know).

If you’re just going to rebadge an Italian car with an American muscle car name, bring the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Performante over and call it the new Dodge Swinger.

Like the boobs, the car...not so much

Been Japanese ever since

The care doesn't look different from any of 100 models of cars out now.

However, the "Mutually Beneficial Arrangements" girl looks more...ample...than most standard models.

OMG - my first 4 cars were all some version of the doge dart

The old slant 6 engine, you couldn’t kill it. The rest of the car, not so much.

The back doors wouldn’t open on the first dart and all my teenage pals had to climb into the back seat. But then, no one minded because it was a car and we cold go places!!

I didn't know that, but apparently that's true. It made for easier access to the back seat on the passenger side. Not a bad idea, but I'm sure it added to the "unusual" character of the car.

You completely misunderstand the shape of modern cars!

An automobile must be tapered at both ends to prevent the designer's fundament from slamming shut, which could hurt. The front grill must look like the Joker's gaping maw to give it a connection with retro-pop-steam-punk culture. The headlight assemblies must bulge outward in sympathy with the victims of exopthalmia, must cost at least Euro 1,000, and of course their plastic covers must immediately cloud over, requiring the headlight polishing kit ($125 at Pep Boys).

How come we don't have sensible diesel powered cars that get 50mpg, like the rest of the world?

They could even update the AMC Gremlin

That actually looks kinda cool. But shouldn't it be some sort of hideous shade of greenish-yellow?

There’s a reason it went away in the first place.
