On January 27, 2016, Fiat Chrysler announced the end of Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 production to redirect its focus towards crossover vehicles. A plan to move production from its Belvidere Assembly Plant to Mexico was in the works but later scrapped.
The Dart ended production on September 2, 2016 after failing to meet sales expectations,[48] with a revived Dodge Neon based on the Fiat Tipo replacing it in the Mexican market.[49]
During a press conference held at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, FCA President Sergio Marchionne said: "I can tell you right now that both the Chrysler 200 and the Dodge Dart, as great products as they were, were the least financially rewarding enterprises that we've carried out inside FCA in the last eight years," adding "I don't know one investment that was as bad as these two were."[50]
lolol... mine was a steel blue 65 slant six I think. I painted a fat matte black racing stripe down the middle. Looked stupid but I thought it was cool. I don't remember buttons though. Gram drove it up a telephone support wire and they took away her license. Sold it two years later to a moron down the street who totaled in less than a month.
My parents had one. That sucker could burn rubber for a mile. Being a motor head I did it whenever I use it. Which wasn’t often because I had my own car. A 1965 Chevrolet malibu.
They gave it to a needy nephew who totaled it months later.
