so WTF are they doing with the Dart?
They needed SOMETHING to put the Fiat platform on, and the Colt name wouldn't do the trick.
Seriously, I have owned a half-dozen Dodge Darts. ('66x2,'71, '73,'74,'76) Darts always hit above their weight, roomy without being behemoths (though I like behemoths), and stressed reliability, simplicity and value above doodads.
Yes, you can make them go fast, but that aunt's pea soup green Dodge Dart with the vinyl roof was also many teen's first cars.
What other car is most famous for its entry level engine? (Slant-six (225), not counting the smaller 170 ci version)?
Someone should buy the Plymouth name and molds, make a Valiant, and do it right.

I’ve owned a Plymouth Valiant, Dodge Dart GT and a Plymouth Barracuda all with the 225 slant sixes. Definitely not hot rods but still fun.
