Interesting observation, I didn't see a thread here so I thought I'd start one.
I think it would be a sensible decision to create:
Dart GT = 2.4L 182HP
Dart R/T = 2.4L 285HP
SRT Dart = Woowooo billion HP
No idea where SRT would take Dart, but I think it's better not to release an SRT Dart than release a product that can't be a segment buster. Ford has the ST and RS, so let R/T compete with ST and if there's a Focus RS someday then have an SRT Dart someday that pounds it to dust.
They just need to make the 2.4L available at any trim level, IMHO.
Anyway, I think the Dart has a really bright future. 9-speed autos, 2.4L, 2.4L Turbo, and anything SRT has up its sleeve, could make it a really compelling do-everything platform in a few years. It's a great basis to build from, with the options and features it has available.
