Remember when Dodge stopped making the Neon back in 2005. there were a LOT of sour and sad faces, regardless of sluggish sales upon Neon's exit. Then came the Dodge Caliber, a tall, lackluster, boxy contraption that Dodge thought would kill the small car segment. WRONG.
Now, I'm so happy to see the Chrysler brand coming back stronger than ever with updated cars like the Chrysler 300, 200, Dodge Charger, Durango, and most recently, the 2013 DODGE DART (above). The inner workings and chassis is shared with stellar European brand FIAT, while the exterior styling is actually reminiscent of the DODGE NEON SRT-4 upon its exit.
The Big 3 are really counting on their cars to take back their would-be sales from the fast-growing European market. Let's check out what each American (Detroit) company is counting on:
2013 Ford Fusion
A lucrative car for Ford. Why? This could pass off as an Aston Martin!
2013 Buick Encore
A small, volume sales leader for Buick
2013 Cadillac ATS
The BMW 3-Series Killer?
2013 Lincoln MKZ
The HEAD-TURNER that Lincoln was looking for
Find your way to the auto show or your local dealership to take a look at these exciting cars!
