Dodge Says Dart Needs Performance Boost To Be Worthy Of The Performance Division Badge

In the midst of launching the Charger and Challenger Hellcat muscle cars, both of which produce over 700 hp, the Dart doesn’t fit into the Dodge brand’s performance DNA, Kuniskis tells WardsAuto.

Parent company Fiat Chrysler in May announced Dodge would become strictly a performance division, stripping the brand of the Caravan minivan and giving it back the Viper supercar, which briefly was a part of the now-defunct SRT division.

The Dart isn't a bad car, but it is poorly executed. They should do a Dart GLH and it should have a burly 2.0-2.4T engine under the hood to go after the GTI and the GLI.

An AWD Dart GLH to hunt the Subaru WRX should be a no brainer as well.
