I can't believe Chrysler brought back the "Dart" (vehicles, Japanese)

[don1945]

I saw the new Darts on the dealers lot and they have some great colors, I am considering the red for a car I am building right now.

The Darts from the 60's were bad ass little cars, especially with the 340 engine.

Just wow, this is like the poster child thread for a clueless OP, no idea what he's talking about from the get go.

I can't believe they put the good old Dart nameplate on such a bland, uninspiring 4 door econobox.

I remember the Dart GTS and Swinger 340 from the late 60s/early 70s that were solid performance machines.

The OP wanted to run his car on carburetor cleaner after Hurricane Sandy hit here in New Jersey and gasoline wasn't available. That tells you how knowledgeable he is about automobiles.

Your weak attempt to ridicule the Dart has done nothing more than reveal how little you know about the subject. Next time you start a thread with the intent to troll, spend a little time researching first.

Give them a new name!

You couldn't be more wrong..

If anything, the Dart is helping save Chrysler in the entry sedan sales category.

I take it you were a Neon type of guy?

Thats ALMOST about as stupid as a statement as the OP's. The GTS and 340 were made in small numbers compared to bland, uninspiring econoboxes MOST of the classic Darts were manufactured as.
