The Dodge Dart just keep piling up the awards this year and once again we find the 2013 Dodge Dart being recognized for it's excellence. Strategic Vision’s Total Quality Index study summarizes how individual models, brands and corporations performed. The company uses a scale that measures multiple aspects of what customers use as a base for purchasing decisions. The scale ranges from a high score of five (5) for “I love it,” to a low score of one (1) if the customer views the feature as a “failure.” The 2013 Dodge Dart received a score of 884, the highest in the compact segment, while the Ford Fusion and Chevy Volt tied for first in the midsize car segment with a score of 908.

Doug Betts, Chrysler’s senior VP of quality, said in a statement: “This particular study recognizes that to excel in overall quality it’s important to also deliver well-crafted, exciting vehicles and ensure customer satisfaction after the sale. These honors show that customers appreciate the innovations in the all-new Dart, as well as the ongoing improvements we’re making throughout our product lineup.” Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision said the Dodge Dart performed well "because of its unique interior and sharp exterior styling."

Once again folks the 2013 Dodge Dart has proven to be one of the best compacts on the market today, and we believe our readers will strongly agree.

According to Mopar392 and JRS200x over at Allpar.com, they are dropping the Rallye as a trim level but are keeping whats called the "Rallye Appearance Package" instead. In California it is being called the "California Appearance Package". The Original Rallye package was supposed to be a quick-order package but then ended up as it's own trim level. Essentially with this change they are basically putting it back to the original plan. That ORIGINAL package was as follows (added to the SXT):

- 140 amp alternator
- 17×7.5" painted aluminum wheels
- Body-color crosshair grille with black surround
- Black headlamp bezels
- fog lamps
- leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Rallye badges
- Cruise control
- Steering-wheel mounted audio controls
- EVIC display

Whereas, the Rallye Appearance Group includes:

- 17×7.5 “hyper black” aluminum wheels (that are on existing Rallyes)
- Black crosshair grille with black surround (where the 'old' one had body-color cross-hair with black surround)
- Rallye badge.

The California Appearance Group includes the wheels and crosshair, but not the badge.
