But for the lulz... but still kinda true..
Red=COMES IN 12 SHADES OF RED?
Compact 4 door with utility=DESIGNED FOR C SEGMENT.
Cheap=STARTS AT 15K, GOES UP FROM THERE.
Low HP=THREE ENTRY ENGINE CHOICES.
Amenities=MAKE-UP CAN'T OWN ANYTHING. NO NEED FOR THE 's.
Small=SMALL DOES NOT EQUAL COMPACT? SEE LINE TWO.
Overdone interior=CHEAP AND OVERDONE? CHOOSE ONE.
Drag stance=I NEVER KNEW THAT WAS A QUALITY CONCERN.
There is plenty about this car I am not pleased about, but I think it is a huge step in the right direction. By the time the SRT and or refresh hits the streets this car will have it's roots planted firmly. Think about the 2000-2002 Neon and the refresh to the 2003-2005 design. I think it was a big improvement. What about the refresh on the Genesis coupe? Looks great!
You also brought up the FT-86. Were you really comparing that to the Dart?! You are comparing apples to a f-ing apple pie. Barring anything exploding on the Dart, it is going to dominate the market.

As much as I agree with you, and find it funny there are already complaints about a car that hasn't hit the market yet, did we really need another thread?

Yes we did. I did not want the other thread, with a lot of useful info, being locked or cluttered up. Some mods get lock happy.

Why we just wait until the car actually comes out and have test driven one, before we complain about it!!! No sense in complaining about a car you haven't even driven!
Drove my neon until it was killed in a flood.

Oh yea???
I agree it's a little silly to have the laundry list of complaints about a car that isn't even out yet...

Pfft. Forget Toyota, get the BRZ. So what if Toyota came up with the basic design...certain mandatory specs...finacing...and trans and rear axle assemblies. The Subaru looks better dammit!
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

No. See although it's a Subaru engine, the Subaru test says it leans towards understeering like the rest of the Subaru line while the Scion they say is more twitchy and better for the 50/50 weight feel the car was going for.
Trust me, I'd take a mighty Subaru over the preppy little bitch Scion any day, but I'm really only interested in driving characteristics of a car like this so Scion wins. Who knows, maybe I'll throw a Toyota badge on it to class it up a little. Then again, why not throw a Lexus emblem on it and call it a baby LFA? The possibilities are limitless.

I read that too. I would imagine it wouldn't take much to make the car rotate a bit easier. Hell, I got the Neon to oversteer on command...how hard could it be?
Oh yeah, this thread is supposed to be for the lousy Dart.
