Chrysler's slow striptease of its pivotal new Dodge Dart sedan has apparently gone on longer than the Internet can stand, because the embargo has started to break, giving us these full-bleed images and video of the handsome new C-segment sedan.

Revealed here in aggressive R/T guise and Limited trim (the white model), the Dart appears attractive and well-balanced to our eyes, looking almost like the Dodge Neon never stopped being developed. That might sound like a slam to some readers, but the Neon was a quick and entertaining small car in its heyday, with buoyant looks and attitude to spare. At a glance, the Dart appears to capture some of that energy but add in heaping helpings of much-needed refinement.

Chrysler has already promised a range of powertrains for the Dart, including three different engines and a trio of transmissions (including an optional nine-speed automatic!). Power will come from the automaker's range of new Tigershark small-displacement engines, including a 2.0-liter, 16-valve four, a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo and a 2.4-liter MultiAir.

The Dart's underlying platform is expected to be a much-massaged version of the chassis underpinning the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, with 68 percent of its wider and longer architecture comprised of high-strength steel.

We'll know more when the silk comes off this Dodge at the Detroit Auto Show in just a couple of days. For now, check out our high-res gallery and see the B-roll video after the jump.

A pitch to refresh Chrysler's branding I suppose on compact cars? At least their paying attention on what's taking place around them with other tag along, now successful manufacturers. Very attractive Chrysler Fiat collaboration. Riding on the 1.4 liter Fiat turbo torque engine could be a best seller in this region with a competitive price range. However, we wait to see what's offered.

Lifestyle are stretching themselves trying to promote all these brands. One brand, or more, in their lineup may suffer.

When the Chrysler cars were last sold here, the Neon, hardly any were sold. I must have seen one Neon on our roads. Then you have the older folk who would only remember the Chrysler Alpine from the early 1980s and its associated problems.

With the right relaunch and aggressive marketing it can come back as a new entry level. Young and desirable. The Adv. Dept. just have to think outside the box (car). Hopefully, monopoly won't be the main factor and the training in the service department won't be too thin. Why should I purchase this car over the others in it's class?

The Neon was sold locally? I'm guessing with the 1.8l export engine?

The dart is highly anticipated here...

this vehicle will no longer be coming to LSM, as they are only being made in left hand drive.
