Dodge did a great job, IMO, with the retro Challengers, so when I heard the Dart was coming back I had high hopes for it.

What the hell happened? :chipper:

Rebadging.. when will they ever learn?

I was a huge Nova fan back in the 70's and 80's. Owned a '70, a '72 and a '77.... what GM did to the Nova in 1985 is criminal!


The new Nova was a rebadged and mildly restyled Japanese market Toyota Sprinter, a model sold in Japan as an upmarket version of the Toyota Corolla.


Let's contrast that POS with:

My '72.... I resto-rodded a nice 307 grocery getter. In this photo I wanted to use up all the old rear tread before I bought new Goodrich T/A's :naughty:

My '77..... started out as Firethorne Red, a gorgeous color when freshly buffed, but oxidized very quickly. I buffed the paint so many times in high school I wore the paint off of it. So we did a color change... Back In Black! :thumbs: An $800 Imron paint job in 1982. What a steal!
