Spied: This is the New 2014 Lexus IS Sports Sedan with Styling that Draws on the LF-CC

The good news is that CR, which tested two versions of the Dart, the US$20,680 2.0-liter SXT and the US$24,490 1.4-liter Rallye, praised their quiet cabin, nimble handling and taut yet compliant ride.

But overall it can’t yet measure up to the best in class.” <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/consumer-reports-tests-dodge-dart-says.html#more">Read more »</a>
