2013 Dodge Dart Exposed
2012 Chicago Auto Show
The 2013 Dodge Dart is certainly not your Dad's Dart. Unlike the old car, this new model is based on the European Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Dodge stretched and widened the car for America but kept the Giulietta's Multiair engine. Dodge also changed the interior to make it more like the rest of the brand's car. The Dart features a duel cloth transmission as well as a massive 8 inch touch screen. We had a chance to check out the new Dart at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.
