new dodge dart

To go along with the potent powerplant, SRT will almost certainly add a host of chassis upgrades including stiffened suspension, custom sway bars front and rear, possibly some modifications to the steering to make it faster and more accurate, and uprated wheels, tires, and brakes. The latter could even be Brembo units.

Price? With a turbo Tigershark, figure close to Focus ST pricing; at 300 hp, it should price well north of that, but just below the AWD VW Golf R and Subaru WRX STI at just over $30,000.

Yea I saw the estimate. I just hope it start off less than that for an SRT4. We'll just have to wait and see when the development becomes more concrete.

I wish details on the next generation Koup will come out the same way these other manufacturers are with their new models. All the speculation has been prolonging for too long.

totally agree. if other companies can do it, why not KIA?
Other companies even put their pre-production or concept cars out there.. KIA doesn't really seem to do that from what I've found... they should

Conservative business model, not everyone wants to show their cards up front. It has benefits like keeping competition guessing, also it keeps consumers from large let downs. Ask Saab and Chevy about lets downs, they have a few stories.

At least Kia announces that they will update the cars and gives a general time frame. Suzuki has been mum on future product for more than 12 months, many pundits think they are prepping closure in North America. Low and behold Suzuki buys ad time for the Super Bowl (only regionally) and claims commitment to the US market. But still not future plans.
