New Dodge Dart: The American Giulietta!

Just 24 hours before its official premiere in Detroit, we reveal to you the new Dodge Dart, a "small" by the standards of the American sedan market based on the floor of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
To the point, this is the first product of the American Dodge to make its way to the production line and use as a basis a model of the "mother" Fiat, which, as known, now controls Chrysler's fortunes, which also includes Dodge. The new Dodge Dart is a small, for the lowlands of the opposite shore of the Atlantic, four-door family model, by the standards of the forgotten Chrysler Neon, with which the now-merged Chrysler/Fiat group hopes to increase its influence in the domestic market, where proven the… races are still on - along with the big SUVs of course- to fascinate the Americans by having a special commercial appeal. By design, simple lines are adopted, without exaggeration, extremes or sophisticated forms, just as was the case with Caliber, which effectively now hands over the baton to Dart. Beneath the metal surfaces of the car lies the familiar, but except, especially for the occasion, enlarged in its dimensions, Alfa Romeo Giulietta floor, from which it also borrows the architecture of its posts.
 For now, the official technical details of the car have not been announced, as all that has been leaked are the photos we are listing for you. Sure, given our information so far, it is a given that the new Dart will be available with three petrol engine sets, two naturally aspirated and one turbocharged. Regarding the first, these are two engines of Chrysler's Tigershark generation, with capacity 2,0 and 2,4. The latter will integrate, according to all indications, the well-known Fiat MultiAir system, while its returns are rumored to be similar 160 and 184 horses. As for the supercharged one, it's about the familiar 1,4 MultiAir by Fiat, the performance of which will probably fluctuate around them 160 horsepower. It is worth adding that the Dart will initially be equipped with two gearbox options, a 6-speed manual and also a 6-speed dual-clutch, while later it will be available with a new automatic transmission 9 relations.
 Closing, to recall that with the new Dodge Dart the Fiat group managed to acquire an additional one 5% of Chrysler's stock, as with its presentation the condition set between the Italians and the American Environmental Protection Agency was reached and it concerned the construction of a car with an average fuel consumption of around 5,9 lit./100 km.

Wagon version for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta

According to well-informed sources, Alfa Romeo plans to add a wagon version to its midsize Giulietta range, inside 2013.
The version in question, as is obvious, it will complement the range of the already acclaimed hatchback version of the Giulietta, which is currently the best-selling model of the Milanese brand, providing at the same time – as a version- an important commercial... helping hand to "mom" Fiat in an extremely important vehicle category of the European market, as is that of station wagons. We remind you that the companies that make up the Italian group (see. Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo) they haven't presented a "compact" micro-medium wagon model since its inception 2008, around the time the not-so-successful Fiat Stilo Wagon was discontinued.
It is worth adding that in the extremely competitive car market of D. Europe, cars in this category represent a total of almost a quarter of sales, rate in fact that in some markets, as in those of Germany and Italy, their share amounts to 70%.
Strategically, the wagon version of the Giulietta is expected to give Alfa Romeo a small but, but important in the bad times we are going through a stimulating injection at the level of sales, while the latter is preparing for the presentation of two very important new models in the 2013: of the new Giulia, who will receive the baton from 159 and a crossover model, which will be based, as everything shows, on a Chrysler "subsidiary" floor. We remind you how, at present, Alfa Romeo has only two models in its ranks, the 3-door MiTo and the 5-door Giulietta (SS.: its sales represent the 60% of the brand's total European sales), since last November the Italian car industry's leaders stopped its production 159 at the Pomigliano d'Arco factory, in order to create... space for the construction of the new generation of the Fiat Panda.
The upcoming Alfa Romeo Giulietta Wagon, which, it should be noted, will not be available on the B market. Of America (note: according to the Italians, the given preference of Americans for sedans and crossover vehicles will be an inhibiting factor for the success of the version on the other side of the Atlantic), it is expected to be slightly longer in length compared to the 5-door, while no surprises are expected even in the mechanical sets that will move it, which will be the same as those of its 5-door variants.
