Not a bad looking car at all, guess it's a 4cyl FWD drivetrain.

I am glad its not just the rebadged Giulietta. This looks a bit better on outside and a lot better on inside.

It looks good enough on the outside, but I hate the interior. Not that I expect any better from Dodge.

Red ones front looks like that ugly Honda Element.. Past that it looks great inside and out.

Long change from this

Are you kidding me?? Have you been in a Civic or a Corolla lately. That interior looks GREAT!

It looks great in the photos but I wonder how great it is in person. Especially the interior.

uh... I expect it better looking on the outside... it looks ok i guess. Interior is typical Fiat.
But exterior is nothing like beautiful Alfas

Probably not surprising.....that's a common way for auto companies to cut costs. Even so, Chrysler's latest interiors, at least IMO, are light-years ahead of what they were just a few years ago. Fiat ownership has really made a difference there....as with other improvements as well.

This is by far, the best looking compact Dodge. I think the designers did a fantastic job and I'm a big fan of the LED racetrack tail lights. They awesome on the Charger and this is done really well.

I hope Dodge does well with this car and looking forward to seeing some modded ones on the road.

Pictures ALWAYS make them look so much better then in person. So we'd have to see it in person.

By all means, go take a look at them.....but, more important, compare them to older Chrysler interiors. I predict you will notice a significant difference.

with Charger Fiat has just massaged it a bit, with new steering, new italian leather, etc.... while this is more typical fiat interior... not really egronomical, and nothing special dash, but soft plastics and great upgrade leather seats... a lot like fiats and alfas. problem is that with alfas at least, it is not that hard wearing... at all :-)

Nope, not kidding. I have been in the latest Civic's and Corolla's, and I prefer the Corolla's interior over all of them.

This interior however, is not my cup of tea, but if you like it then that's great!
