2nd car I ever owned was a ‘67 Dart. It got 50 miles per quart of oil.

Yeah, “click here” to see more pics — and ads — one that includes a down-the-shirt pic of a young lady, where you can get more information on “mutually beneficial arrangements” with single moms and college girls.

Nice.

I have a 2004 dodge Ram 1500 4x4/hemi. by the time it had 60,000 miles on it, I had replaced a U joint, upper lower control arms, a wheel hub, a brake piston, a tie rod, and the rack and pinion. The vapor extraction system is failing as well and it has started rusting at the right rear wheel well. I will NEVER buy another dodge product.

There is nothing exciting about a front wheel drive car.

My first car was a 1960 Dart. Great tank, er, car ;-)

Another bland, cookie cutter enviro-crap car that sullies the name of a classic.

Just like they did with the Cougar. Yuck!

Is that what they’re passing off as a Dodge Dart these days? Are they serious? That’s not a Dodge Dart, at all. My first car was a 1970 Plymouth Scamp - the Plymouth version of the Dart - with the slant 6 (one of the best blocks ever built) and I can truthfully say that I know Dodge Darts and this is not a Dodge Dart.

I'd imagine if you showed that picture to anyone old enough, their first thought wouldn't be "hey, that looks, like a Dodge Dart!" like worked with the new Camaro and Challenger. Detroit could modernize the models and keep the classic lines, but they seem to lobotomize designers at the get-go. They could even update the AMC Gremlin:

Personally, the old Dodge Dart made me think Ford Fairlane with a better power train and suspension. The new Dart makes me think Ho Hum. I assume there is Italian styling somewhere on the exterior of the otherwise ordinary looking car. (Honestly, would it even catch your eye if it wasn’t fire engine red?)

For a modern car design with some retro hints I like the Chrysler 300.

However appealing (or unappealing) the new Dart’s design is, there is no disguising the rundown state of the streets it was presumably photographed on - Detroit.

How mighty are (were) the fallen.

My parents had a ‘73 Dart Swinger, with the slant 6, an AM radio, and nothing else. It was puke green with a cute little flower sticker on the side. I never had the displeasure of driving it, but it was awful to ride in, and it must have been even worse to drive.

Resurrecting the Dart makes as much sense as Ford reintroducing the Edsel.

My Grandma had a 1973 Dart with a small-block 318cid V-8 and a three-on-the-tree manual transmission. It would catch rubber in each gear, at least when I drove it. :)

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