According to an Allpar source, which could not be verified through official channels, the Dodge Dart SXT Rallye package is being replaced, possibly on a temporary basis, by the Dart SXT Special Edition Group (order code ASE). Buyers ordering this package will get a well equipped car, for considerably less than the outgoing Rallye, with an MSRP of $21,480 including destination. The new package includes dual exhaust, aero underbody and grille shutters, auto-dimming rear mirror, overhead console, in-seat storage (front passenger seat), illuminated front cupholders, front seatback pockets, the trip computer/info center, LED “race track” tail lamps, tire pressure monitor, fog lamps, “blackened look” front,  cruise, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, UConnect voice command, BlueTooth and USB connections, remote start, and automatic headlamps.

I think it should be a "turbo Z GTS Limited SE".

 

[Dave Z]

Yes. Well. SE Daytona Super Bee SXT Limited C.

This story was picked up from the forums -- thanks, guys!! The original thread has died down a bit.

People complain when there aren't enough options to configre a car and then people complain when there are too many options to configure a car! There's no way to win.

 

[AutoTechnician]

I wouldn't say that the Dart's problem was too many options, but it was how they grouped the options.

 

[Stratuscaster]

Agreed - although that may be more of "an ease of production" or "required prerequisite" options issue that we are not aware of.

 

[FreeLantz]

That's a lot of content for the price. Should be a hit.

 

[jerseyjoe]

Just think.15 years from now some kid will be college bound and will be given one of these!

So those 19" wheels (GT style) are going to be a rare-option Rallye if the Dart becomes a collectors car someday. lol

 

[jimboy]

This is alphabet soup, confusing to me, so how does the average consumer react? With a yawn, K.I.S.S.

its a lot simpler now than it was.

 

[FreeLantz]

I'd rather see this than "Heat", "Mainstreet", "Crew Lux", and some of the other awful trim names they were using for a while.

 

[TWX]

Maybe they can have a "GLH" model, and with the other "S" badging, a "GLH S"...

 

[suzq044]

I bet it'll only get badged as an SE guys instead of SXT-SE. Base = no badge; SE and up get badges.. at least thats what I'd do.

I wouldn't say that the Dart's problem was too many options, but it was how they grouped the options.

Problem also was the Avenger's and 200 ridiculous prices

I wonder if they will put badges on cars with this package other than the SXT badge?

Our Grand Caravan SXT Plus only has Grand Caravan on it...It's only the Crew and R/T models that get a model/trim badge.

 

[JRS200x]

All the SXT's have an SXT badge on them. This one will as well. Only the window sticker will reflect the option package.
