And along the same vein...but different plant...does anyone know if the nine-speed tranny is in production yet?

 

[Dave Z]

I think they will be doing a launch ceremony for the nine speed soon

 

[Mike V.]

But what about the Dart GT... Confirmation anyone?

 

[BigDaddySRT]

Crickets?

Sad Panda...

On perhaps a related note, I have being seeing bulletins in Covisint about pilot MRD for PF (2014 MY) required by 4/1/2013, if that means anything.

...haven't seen any GTs. I have seen a few R/Ts, though. And keep in mind I don't see everything.

(Off topic, the new Compass interior upgrades are nice.)

I have been curious about what they are. No interior pictures were in the press release.

"For 2014, the Jeep Compass interior has been tastefully upgraded with accents and trim that customers will appreciate. Upgraded features include a new interior trim option in the Compass Limited model: Saddle Brown perforated leather seating with accent stitching. The Latitude model includes a new sport mesh and vinyl seat with light gray accent stitching, and the Light Pebble Beige trim features a new Tangerine accent stitch on the seats. In addition, the armrests and center console lid are now wrapped in vinyl and the instrument cluster overlay graphics have been updated. New satin chrome finish adorns the center bezel, shifter bezel and pull cups and a new bin applique with badge round out the interior design upgrades."

Good to see, the interior touches are nice.

And a beautifully designed front end...

 

[Paul J. Reed]

I guess this all means that no one has seen a Dart GT at Belvidere...

 

[Stratuscaster]

We know they've built a few - reviews of them are being done and they are appearing at auto shows. I believe DaveAdmin will have a review posted up this coming week.

 

[Mike V.]

Thanks Strat!

It's been reported over on dodge-dart.org that a White pilot GT made its way down the line last night.

 

[JRS200x]

We can't order them yet, so why would they be building them? And if they are, it certainly isn't for showrooms or sale...

 

[Paul J. Reed]

Pilots.... Depending on PPAP status of all the components it could end up being a saleable or non-salelable vehicle... in any regard its progress.

Because if they are building pilots than we are getting close!
