    You went with a retro look for the Challenger at soared a home run. The Charger as a 4 door didn’t hit me right at first ( I grew up in the muscle cars days of the 60′s and 70′s, tend to be a purist),but now I love them. Would love to own one. The Charger, Challenger, and 300 share similar lines and do well. My hats off you. So why didn’t you go with more of the retro concept on the Dart of the late 60′s and 70′s?? I think they would have been a better looking car. The dart now looks like every other foreign make. To me looks like the Lancer, Focus, with a hint of Corolla. Your sedans stand out, the Ram stands out. The dart should have as well. But good luck with it.
