That new Dart is not too shabby looking. I just hope that Chrysler was able to put some longer lasting systems under the hood. Traditionally the vehicles have looked grea, but did not perform well as time went on.

the Fusion should of won car of the year not the elantra! Not only does it have leading edge good looks but has leading edge technology again. the hybrid can get up to a 100 mpg. Ford has taken the lead of the auto industry and the others seem to be copying their designs and technology.
