i registered in focus forums. No new info. Its whats out there. I think some Ford dealerships are already taking deposits but its not scheduled to come out until next middle of next year.

Naw if we get rid of the STi its fora SUV. Not dong that until she is permanent at her job Only way I could convince her to get out of the STi is if I got rid of my car at the same time (She REALLY hates my Evo. Cnat blame her. For the last 4 years I've driven it a total of maybe 6-8 months collectively).

I think I would be interested if it weighed a bit less than a IX. Seems like it's going to be around the X weight and cost a lot to purchase. Dealers will probably mark it up for a while.

Never heard of a SRT Dart. I'll keep my eyes open....especially if its AWD (or at least not FWD).

The Dart is stated to get a remodel mid 2016. SRT has announced production of an SRT Dart to arrive late 2017. The new Dart has been rumored to be slightly above 300hp, and based on an AWD turbocharged platform.
