Automobile manufacturer Chrysler revealed the company has plans of bringing back their previous car model "Dodge Cart" but this time, with an Italian twist.

The new Dart Dodge model is a 2013 model and it is the first Chrysler vehicle that is based on Fiat architecture (Alfa Romeo Giulietta). Alfa Romeo, the owner of Italian-based car manufacturer Fiat also holds a controlling interest in Chrysler and all the three firms are now beginning to share their own auto development and designs with each other. The new Dart model will have three engine choices: 2.0-liter, 2.4-liter cylinder options, and a 1.4-liter turbocharged four. These new launches for Dodger Dart is part of the company's strategic plan to resurrect old models and re-introduce them in the market with a new features yet still having its original quality.

Brandy Schaffels, the senior editor of TrueCar.com explained that most automobile manufacturing companies are trying this kind of strategy because the companies believe that customers would feel affinity towards these models and it could generate interest from the overseas market. He mentioned the Fiesta as an example stating that "Fiesta was not a popular car in the United States the first time it was sold here, but it has had a very good following in Europe." Ford Motor Co. made the Ford Fiesta compact car available in the U.S. market last year after being absent in the American market for the past 30 years. Chevrolet also made the same move as it reintroduced its Camaro in the 2010 model.

The Dodge Dart was last offered last 1976 and the style of the car was more "angular". This current release would show this model sporting a "curvy and stylish" theme. Dart was first introduced in the American market in 1960 and by the year 1963 it became a popular choice for U.S.-built small cars. The Dart was initially known as a smaller alternative as a family vehicle but over the years, the model had several muscle car trims which gave it a youthful vibe thus attracting more potential customers.

The Dart will be manufactured in a Chrysler plant in Belvidere, III as part of the bailout deal with the U.S. government.
