I believe you have the red x as a link to your Microsoft SkyDrive. I think a viewer would need your Windows Live logon to see the picture (not a good idea)......

Be generous with the throttle and the 2013 Dodge Dart scoots enthusiastically. At the test track we clocked the Dart from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds (8.0 seconds with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip) and through the quarter-mile in 16.1 seconds at 85.4 mph. This performance bests both the last 2012 Ford Focus Titanium we tested (8.7, 8.3, and 16.4 seconds at 85.4 mph, respectively) and the Chevrolet Cruze (9.6, 9.3, and 17.1 seconds at 80.4 mph, respectively).
Headlining our tester's options list is its Fiat-sourced 1.4-liter turbocharged MultiAir four-cylinder engine, which promises to deal from both sides of the power and efficiency deck. Power delivery from the little engine that could is at once impressive and frustrating. It's got an unexpectedly rorty exhaust note, delivers plentiful midrange torque when you give it the spurs and spins with little vibration.
Not a bad for such a small engine but not exactly impressive either.

I think the Dart we all are waiting on is the rumored SRT4 version, which is supposed to have somewhere close to 275 horsepower.

Now if they would put a decent engine in the Fiat Abarth (like they did in the old days), things might get interesting!
