That looks like a matte Tungsten Metallic.
It cetainly has potential. Beef up the suspension and brakes, put on a turbo and you have a Dart SRT.
The Dart GT should be a sweet ride. I have the 1.4 turbo Rallye and have been enjoying it.

I don't see a picture, but there is one here: http://www.allpar.com/history/auto-shows/misc/canada.html

I thought it looked early good. I wouldn't buy one tho.
Looks similar to the SEMA showcar used to showcase Mopar parts.
Car is nice but I hate the color............

I think it's the exact same car... they just pulled the old switcharoo with the rear badging.

Dark Tinted Windows, and no pictures allowed of the interior.

The Paint isn't Matte... it's the clear that is a Matte Finish.

I don't think this "paint" will ever make it to a production DART, because the average DART Buyer won't know how to keep it clean.

If Hyundai offers it on a similarly priced Veloster then Dodge will probably offer it as an option.

Yes I know.... and have you read the "Dos and Dont's with Matte Finish" in their Warranty Booklets?

The Matte Finish is expressly not covered in the Warranty.

And with that, there is no way I would ever deal with a matte finish in a new car. Of the manufacturer won't back it up, then I have no business buying it ;)

If I were to try that, I'd have to do clear plastidip. Dries as a matte finish and you can wash it.. Well, like plastidip. XD

You guys think its this car?





EDIT: Can't be that one after seeing it, as it was a glossy paint IIRC

Don't let the overly bright show lights fool you - I think it's the same car.

It might be the same car, but there are changes that have occured between NAIAS and CIAS (tail lights, headlights, grille, fog lights, ground effects, spoiler, etc)

More pictures of the car at CIAS:

Thank you. Now I don't think it's the same car. Same color, tho...which is what I was really trying to say.
Looks like a Matte version of Tungsten Metallic. That being said, I like it but there is no way I would go through all of the trouble to keep it looking like that.
Either way, same or not, it's still a preproduction car showing off Mopar parts. It very well could be the same car with parts changed and a paint job. That does happen with preproduction cars used for shows.
