I actually really like it.. I mean I still prefer an evo(not that they'll be around) or an STi - but it looks and sounds a lot better than a neon/caliber.

The base Dart borrows heavily from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform, so expect an upgraded version of the Giulietta Cloverleaf's dual-clutch, six-speed transmission to find its way into the Dart SRT4. The Cloverleaf's 1.7-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder probably won't come with it, as it makes only 230 hp. The Dart SRT4 needs to aim higher, since by summer, Ford's Focus ST will hit the streets with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder making at least 247 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque.

The last-generation Caliber SRT4 made 285 hp and 265 lb-ft from a turbo 2.4-liter, so for the return of the SRT4, expect no less. The all-aluminum, direct-injection, 300-hp four-cylinder engine that should arrive in the long-awaited Alfa Romeo 4C could be a perfect, though expensive, fit. A turbocharged and intercooled larger displacement version of the Dart's Tigershark 2.0-liter might be a better option.

The caliber srt-4 had 285? Hmm, never knew that. I'll wait to see a production version of the Dart before I make an opinion.

it looks so angry.. it prolly has little man syndrome.

srt4 neons look angry too. Like they are always thinking 'damnit I'm not a neon I'm an SRT4', then it bites your ankle

With Alfa lineage this should be pretty mean, looks pretty good too. Just gotta hope it isn't boring. Id like to see how GM is going to respond, the turbo'd Cobalt SS was praised by the car mags because it could out perform cars twice its price so id like to see them pull out a Cruze SS or something like that.

My understanding is "it's in the works".

[85XR7Project]

Sould prove pretty good considering how the last Cobalt SS came out.

I believe they're talking about using the turbo motor that's in the Regal, modified of coarse.

[bizzle]

even stock that motor in that little car would haul ass!

id prefer a two door. its not a bad car but still in that concept phase which means things will change. hopefully not much to the exterior.
