We hauled one of the first Abarth's off the train and WOW! Much better then the other Fiats. Super fast and fun to drive. Interior, exterior, and most parts underneath are heavily upgraded/modified.



Also hauled a 2013 Dodge Dart R/T fully loaded. Super nice for a small car. Leather was comfortable, huge in dash screen. Good quality overall. I think it was a 3rd level prototype, went from the factory to a chrysler training facility.




The new Mustangs are sweeeeet also. Love all the hot colors. Loading at the factory there were hundreds in all colors ready to ship!

SO if your in the market for a new car these are some cool options to check out. The New ford Fusion and focus are pretty impressive also.

Enjoy!

The dealers here say the Dart will be on their showroom floors by June. I want a red RT with the 1.4 turbo engine. But hey I might just wait till next year when the 300hp Dart SRT4 comes out. That's gonna be a badass car! Gotta love Ralph Gilles he's a hotrodder.

Don't know about the Abarth.


Hey offshoreexcursion this one's for you buddy;

http://www.topspeed.com/cars/dodge/2...r-ar96599.html

Check out the June C&D it's got the Viper SRT on the cover and the Dart inside.

Too bad they didn't take it out on the highway and open it up. I have heard speeds up to 180mph.[Edit 204-210 per quickie]

Prices I have seen are; SRT $100,000. SRT GTS $120,000.

180? My Gen II stock was faster than that... the new one is est between 205-210, Gen IV cracked 200 but was held back by tall gearing. Looking forward to the new one. And their going to be back campaigning them again, so time to see the Snakes dominate everyone once again.... unless they do like last time and adding and adding weight to the point the cars couldn't compete after they kept decimating all teams. Not sure if Oreca will be campaigning?


offshore -what'd you think of the new Fusion? Ford is going to kill the comp with that car, it looks like a smaller 4dr Aston. And their hybrid/elec models will be leaving the comp scratching their heads like "huh"? lol. I mean who wants to buy an ugly ass hybrid when you can have one like the new Fusion models getting better mileage and looking way better than competitors.

Now if only they would drop in the Eco-Boost 6 and manual trans and call it the Sho vs the overweight pig auto only Taurus lol. Love the new Stangs too, 5.0 is a gem and responds like crazy to mods. So much more fun to drive vs bloated feeling Camaro and Challenger.

Abarth is cool too, just way too small for me lol

Glad you like the new stuff. I work here at CTC ( Chrysler HQ) in Design and it has been a busy place lately........ Lots more good stuff coming...........

I've tried to keep up with all the Mopar news. When I read that Sergio didn't like the interior materials and put $110 PER CAR toward improving the look and feel, I knew that Chrysler would be on the road to recovery and profitability. You don't put that kind of investment into a car company if you're not sure you'll be successful.

I own a 2006 Cool Vanilla 300C. I love the car, strong power great handling and killer looks but I really want to own a New Generation Mopar so if I can get a deal done I'll own a red Dart.

Hey jolly,,,when is the desperato going to come out????

we need a big azz suv with a cummins diesel that is big enough for 7 chicks and me and all their gear and able to haul a boat so where is it????

Yeah I love almost all the Mopars, big fan. The new viper is amazing. Was staring at the computer the day they unvailed it. Thanks for the links CAT!

Quicksilver, yeah the fusion is already dominating! Why would anyone look at any other Hybrid Jap crap when the big three are stepping it up. Chit, even some cars that are not hybrid get better or the same fuel economy, and look WAAYY better.

I like everything about the Viper; the snake front end, especially the fangs in the grill, the brake ducts, the loooong deck and the "helmet bubbles" on top. The long low and wide stance screams "I strike quick" lol.

The interior has been upgraded to match the Eurocars. The exhaust note is still ominous but the motor has been "civilized" a bit even with the extra 40hp and 40tq(even has cruise control!)

Can't wait till the car mags do the Vette/Viper duel, should be great fun!

Yeah I agree!

The Viper already beats the Z06 and ZR1 on the Nurirburg track, and thats in a 2010 viper! Imagine how the new one will do!
