    I really wanted Alfa to return to the US; this ain't it.

    I think there must be some political reason for this...

    Well it should be easy to get parts for the Alfa's when they do come back. Seriously all those prototype photos are a Giulietta other than the top one. I saw 5 of these Giulietta's come in via O'hare around a year ago. They were on the way to the FIAT test lab in Michigan. FIAT should bring in the hottest version of the Giulietta and Mito now and stop waiting for "new" versions that won't set the world on fire. If they want to share a generic floorpan with other Chrysler models thats fine as long as the Alfa is a more performance based version with its own engine.

    Any chance these were doing desert testing in Nevada? I saw two prototype cars, one 4 door and the other a 5 door. They were driving on I15 headed towards Mesquite.

    Thanks.

    As the former owner of 3 Neons I'm pretty loyal (and partially deaf & blind) to Dodge's small cars but I still gotta see the rest before I jump in like you.

    I cant stand the way the new Charger looks, with its fat, blobby rear lights that look like Tron. This seems to have it, too. :(

    The press release...

    I like the red stitching but the red lighting is a bit much...

    I rented the new Charger with the 3.6 "Pentastar" motor. It's pretty quick, and only spins something like 15-1600 rpm at 70mph on cruise. My only gripe with it is that it's so horribly uncomfortable!

    I'm 6'0, 160 and I'm pretty much built like a stick. The old Chrysler LH fullsize cars, the Intrepid, 300M, Concorde, etc, seats used to fit me like a glove. I put over 2000km on a 2012 Charger as well as about 1000 on a 2012 300, and good god, the seats made me want to kill myself.

    Also, in terms of the Dart; I have some issues with it, but ANYTHING would be better than the Caliber.

    I don't hate it but not a big fan either. However, I think that design was pretty much set before the Fiat folks could give their input while the Dart will have plenty of Italian thought in it...I hope.
