For the fourth year now Chrysler has released it's customized collectible car under the Mopar label. Celebrating it's 75th anniversary last year, Mopar is the Chrysler Group's badge for their parts, service and customer care division. Just as in the previous three years, they pull a car from Chrysler's current lineup, tweak it with all of the latest technological and performance developments and create a limited edition showcase. Previously working their magic on the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and the Chrysler 300, all V-8 rear wheel drives; this year Mopar turned it's attention to the Dodge Dart, one of the newer members of the Chrysler Group's lineup.

No sooner has the 2013 Dodge Dart arrived at dealerships than Chrysler is adding another version to its range: the Dodge Dart Aero. Announced last week, the Aero features Chrysler's 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder MultiAir turbo engine. Developed by Fiat, this engine offers 184 lb-ft of torque and features fuel economy of just 4.8 L/100 km. Note also that the Dodge Dart received the "Top Safety Pick" for 2012 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Canadian manufacturers' suggested retail price of this Aero version is $19,795. Other features included as standard in this version are lightweight aluminum chassis components, active grille shutters, underbody aero kit, a lowered profile and low-rolling resistance tires.

Dodge and Jeep are recalling more than 270,000 vehicles - including nearly 20,000 in Canada - due to a problem with the shifter and the braking system. Essentially, vehicles could start rolling without warning even if the shifter is set to Park.

Leaked images of what appears to be the future Dodge Hornet have surfaced online, and its resemblance to the upcoming Alfa Romeo Tonale is uncanny and undeniable. Not that that’s all that shocking, given we already knew the Hornet is a close cousin of the Italian crossover.
