This exhibition was curated by Tamarind Institute and features a series of original lithographs created by VSA Artists in a collaborative project of VSA North Fourth Art Center and the internationally renowned Tamarind Institute.
Printervention took place during two weeks in May 2015, and involved designs by ten VSA artists (Leon Baca, Stephanie Barbour, Jamy Cantrell, Christina Caraveo, Jesse Cruz, James Kreitinger Esteban Lujan, Mariah Maestas, Jessica Pinto and Adam Smith), assisted by seven students from the Tamarind Institute's Professional Printer Training Program, who then processed and printed the lithography plates at Tamarind.
Each of the 10 plates included four designs, printed in an edition of 25 impressions. The resulting one thousand lithographs were brought back to VSA/ North Fourth Art Center and all the Day Arts and Exploratory Arts classes participated in hand coloring them.
The collaboration culminated in two community interventions, which were held at the Robinson Park Growers Market on May 16, and July 25, 2015. These "Printerventions" involved disseminating free original lithographs to passersby with information about VSA and Tamarind and were very successful in engaging public interest and raising awareness about the two long standing Albuquerque arts organizations.

Photographs by students at the Native American Community Academy (NACA)
Exhibit runs August 6 – September 19, 2010
Reception to meet the Artists: Friday, August 6, 2010, 5:00-7:00 pm

Students at the Native American Community Academy (NACA) teamed with VSA AmeriCorps volunteers and created a series of photographs for a third year of collaboration. VSA AmeriCorps volunteers Stephanie Graner and Dusty Conley spent five months teaching drawing, graffiti, and photography techniques to middle school-aged students at NACA. The photographs selected for the exhibition focus on the dramas of being in middle school. The three series are riddled with playful images, some staged and others candid. The portrait series plays with the idea of "War Paint," using projected drawings as a light source, the result being a suite of stunning, color-splashed images. The next series portrays the landscape and physical space of NACA while also exposing the playful and/or moody nature of teenagers. The third series displays masculinity and proving one's manliness during the developmental years. These colorful and vibrant photographs, taken by students, offer an intimate glimpse into the daily life at NACA.

This cultural exchange brought artists together to share stories and make prints about the popular folkloric figure of the trickster.

This visual journey coincides with the Global DanceFest JourneysAFRICA.

Obsession: Contemporary Relics
Second Annual Juried UNM Art Exhibit
Exhibit Runs April 3 – April 26
Relics and artifacts are remnants of the past and through careful study, disclose their connection to the people, the places, and time in which they lived. An artifact, both timeless and mysterious, creates a sense of sacredness. These pieces illustrate human experiences that have been lost. Archaeologists and anthropologists piece them together.
Imagine an archaeologist or anthropologist 100 years in the future attempting to understand our contemporary times. What artifacts would they find? How would they assemble our fleeting experience?
This exhibit focuses on these so-called contemporary relics and the obsessive nature of the artists who produce them. And what makes their nature obsessive? It is their intense curiosity, their methodical thinking, and their discoveries. Through the creative process, artists not only create cultural relics, but become contemporary anthropologists.

Third Annual Out Of the Ordinary, Featuring Photography Exhibit
CHANGE – A Journey to Inclusion: From Institutional to Community Living in Bulgaria
October 31– November 26, 2008
Opening Reception
Friday, October 31, 6–8pm
The work of Austrian photographer Ulrich Eigner has taken him to Asia, the Americas and Eastern Europe, documenting the work of governments and nongovernmental organizations in the social field. The photographs of this show, curated by Jason Reed and published in the book, Change: A Journey to Inclusion, vividly exemplify what can be done to release the human spirit when governments and civil society commit to the simple yet profound idea of equal dignity for all human beings.
The time is long overdue to permanently remove large institutions from the residential options offered to persons with intellectual disabilities. Clearly, persons with intellectual disabilities have rejected any role for institutions in their lives and instead are demanding that they have the right to choose to live in the community."
—Ingrid Körner, President of Inclusion Europe

Tin Can Banana
N4th Gallery rotates shows monthly that often pertain to the populations served by VSA North Fourth Art Center. While this is a valid approach to exhibit artwork by often underrepresented groups, it can take away from the individual artist's personal intention of their work. For the month of June, N4th Gallery seeks to avoid distraction and rediscover the joys of artistic expression. By uniting all different kinds of art through seemingly arbitrary objects (a tin can and a banana), this show hopes to bring the focus back to the art itself. The walls will be covered with work by painters, sculptors and photographers; children, youth and seniors; amateurs and masters; artists with and without disabilities.
The public is invited to a reception for the artists on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The exhibit runs through June 29, 2008.
In conjunction with the Tin Can Banana exhibit and in collaboration with the Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, VSA North Fourth Art Center will be holding a month long food drive beginning May 14, and culminating at the Tin Can Banana opening reception on June 5.Those attending the opening reception are encouraged to bring 3 cans of food to benefit local and statewide neighbors in need. Participating drop off locations include VSA North Fourth Art Center, AmberCare Hospice and City of Albuquerque Community Centers (Alamosa, Cesar Chavez, Holiday Park, Loma Linda, McKinley, Mesa Verde, Snow Park, Westgate, West Mesa and Whittier).

A special event, Sowing Seeds Arts and Crafts Festival, will coincide with the exhibition on Saturday, May 3, from 10:00am-2:00pm, at VSA North Fourth Art Center. Proceeds directly benefit the artists.

Dancers of Africa:
Photographs by Antoine Tempé
March 14 – 30, 2008
Opening Reception Friday, March 14, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Born in France, Antoine Tempé moved to New York City in 1983. In the early '90s, following his initial success documenting the New York night life for European magazines, Antoine started photographing his dancer friends in his studio. He soon began working with various New York based dance companies both on commercial and personal projects, with his photographs appearing in American publications. In 2000 Antoine embarked on a one-year photographic journey through West Africa and Madagascar. From this trip he brought back two different bodies of work currently exhibited under the titles Dancers of Africa and African Journey.
Since then, Antoine has been splitting his time between Paris, West Africa, Brazil and New York, developing personal projects while working on assignment for dance festivals and teaching photography workshops.
Among other publications, Antoine's work has been featured in American Photo, Dance Magazine, Danser, Elle Décoration, French PHOTO, Le Monde, Le Monde 2, Libération, Marie-Claire España, The New York Times, Paris-Match and The Village Voice.

With Care
February 1 – 29, 2008
Opening Reception Friday, February 1, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
An eclectic exhibition, With Care features artwork by eleven caregivers from the local Albuquerque community. Each artist comes to this show with a unique and personal experience as a caregiver. From a high school art teacher to a therapist to a mother, each has made the conscious choice to devote their lives to the well being of others. For some, art may be their calling and passion and for others an expressive release, but regardless we see their insightful perspective on life and the world as invaluable and look forward to celebrating their efforts by sharing their artistic vision with the collective community.
Clearly Abstract

The exhibit showcases work by adults with disabilities in two and three dimensional wall pieces by VSA's better-known abstract artists as well as many emerging artists showing their work for the first time.

Lupus is a chronic condition of unknown cause that causes inflammation in the body's tissues. Because its symptoms vary from person to person, it's not always diagnosed quickly, typically developing between the ages of 15 and 40.
It's nine times more common in women than men, and is also seen more in Afro-Caribbean, Chinese and Asian populations. The main trigger of lupus is hormonal activity and change, so lupus can often be triggered after childbirth, at the menopause or during puberty.
In lupus, the immune system attacks the body's healthy tissue instead of protecting it. The most common form is known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects the whole body, with a rarer discoid form only affecting the skin.
The term 'lupus' is derived from the Latin word for 'wolf' as lupus vulgaris, a severe facial rash rarely seen now, was once thought to resemble a wolf's bite.
What are the symptoms?
These vary very widely and range from mild fatigue to severe pain. SLE symptoms are typically of tiredness, joint pains in the hands and feet and a rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose known as a 'butterfly rash'. There may also be fever, swollen lymph glands, recurring mouth ulcers, anaemia and mood changes. Unfortunately, miscarriage - often recurrent – can be another complication of lupus.
One difficulty with lupus is that although it is more common than leukaemia, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis worldwide, it is sometimes diagnosed late because and those conditions (and others) share a number of similar symptoms to lupus.
How is it diagnosed?
It is diagnosed by blood tests, although its wide range of symptoms can often make diagnosis tricky in general practice and a specialist assessment may be required. Important tests that help confirm the diagnosis are an anti-nuclear antibody test, an anti-DNA antibody test and a complement level test.
If diagnosed, further tests such as ultrasound or CT scanning may be required to check if any internal organs have been affected – typically the kidneys and the skin but the heart, lungs and brain are also often affected.
How is lupus treated?
Unfortunately there is no current cure for SLE. Treatment aims to minimise symptoms and their effect on normal daily activities. Drugs used include anti-inflammatories, hydroxychloroquine, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. Sufferers should also stay out of the sun as this can worsen symptoms.
Most people with lupus can now anticipate a normal lifespan following advances in treatment and the use of steroids.
Patients with lupus often learn to 'pace' themselves and not become over-tired as rest is very essential. Being open with family and friends about the diagnosis and its unpredictable pattern is important, as is seeking medical assistance at the right time.

I asked Andrew Eardley if he'd permit me to post some excerpts from his recent (March 16, 2016) reading with Archangel Michael through Linda Dillon.
I'm happy that, after protestations, he's allowed me. Some of you know Andrew as Commander of the scientific starship, the Pi. Others may know him as a reincarnation of the prophet Elijah. I playfully call him "Cap'n."
Who among lightworkers signed up to live a reclusive and "private" life? Some of us, perhaps, but probably very few. Andrew in his wanderings has been called previously by AAM a lamplighter and here a butterfly or bee that pollinates.
Again, I could have posted just the absolute minimum of things, but the reading is so rich and the subject matter so engaging that I asked Andrew to let me post generously. Here it is.
Archangel Michael: Greetings, I am Michael, Archangel of peace, warrior of love, bringer of news. Welcome – welcome, beloved brother. Welcome to this Council and to this Circle of Love, to this Circle of Peace, to this Circle of Oneness. Welcome home.
Let us begin by the deeper anchoring, not only of our union, of our friendship, of our sacred mission and purpose, but also, beloved One, of the deeper anchoring of you in You. …
We tell you, we share with you, we guide you – again and again. We speak of your magnificence, your capacities, your capabilities, your mission, and you have never shied away.
Quite the contrary, my dear brother, you have quickly embraced everything that is part of this mission and purpose. And when we say that, we do not simply mean Elias, (1) the Pi, even the Trident part of your mission. (2)
We mean the human incarnation and work that you are doing in this beloved planet, in the Cities of Light, of being like the beautiful butterfly or bumble bee that goes and spreads pollination – and sweetness – wherever you land.
We know that in many ways this sense of travelling without a homebase from place to place to place is challenging and exhausting – even while it is exhilarating and exciting. We know of your soul weariness – beloved One, do not fret – you will have your homebase. (3)
Why I bring this up is not simply to reassure you about having a home, but that you will know the value of what you are doing in human form, and that that work – because it is work – is known and acknowledged, appreciated and valued by this side.
We can not do what you do. We work – we operate – in a myriad of ways, but seldom do I assume form and even when I do it is only for a few minutes here and there. (4) And so I want you to know that our hearts are filled with love and appreciation for how you are conducting yourself and that what often feels like endurance is also known.
My Brother, I have worked, we have worked, many of us – above and below – have worked on the anchoring of Love, the anchoring of peace on this beautiful Gaia for tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of years – eons.
I know the meaning of endurance, and I also know that endurance, stamina, patience, require the deepest compassion. Admiration, yes – but compassion and gratitude, and you have this from us, so when you feel – and we know you have felt at moments that the 'well is dry' – turn to me my beloved brother.
Let me quench your thirst, let me fill the well, let me attend to you. Yes, the Mother attends to you constantly, but as your brother, your ally, your friend, I can do more than hold the sword and shield. I can assist you. So I want to start there – I want you to know how much you are cherished and valued. …
[In answer to a question about combining healing efforts in a collective meditation:]
Where two or more are gathered, there is an implosion/explosion effect. It is as if you are amplifying the invocations – the Healing energy etc., etc., etc. – and you know this to be true, and you have witnessed this to be true many many times, both in this lifetime and other lifetimes, both upon planet – Gaia – and elsewhere.
Elias: I am wondering if I am meant to embark upon a mission – similar perhaps to Steve's West Coast Express of 2014 – where I might travel around Europe, or perhaps globally, to meet up with local lightworker groups and explain to them what I know about our future missions with starship Pi, our bridging mission, the global Festival of Music, planetary nuclear cleansing, involvement in the raising of Atlantis and Lemuria, etc.
Indeed I tend to get very enthusiastic when talking about such matters to people, even though I run the risk of being considered 'crazy'! But I feel that this is my mission at this time, and I am very conscious of your advice in one of the Hour with an Angel programs earlier last year where you advised us to 'stop hiding our light under a bushel basket' and to 'come out of the cave'. Can you advise me about this?
AAM: You are absolutely correct. And the awakening of humanity – globally, individually, collectively – to who they truly are is not simply . . . either voluntary or desirable – it is critical and necessary. Many, each in their own way, are stepping forth in the fulfilment of this transition work – and it is exciting, rewarding, exhilarating work, and it is also filled with gratitude when people wake up and say, "Oh – my gosh, I had no idea!"
Now, is there always the downside that people dismiss you or think you're crazy? Yes – and to which we say, "So what!" You know there have been many adepts who have seen star beings, angels, miraculous events who have been dismissed and dismissed and dismissed again and again, and then in the light of history – and history can be a day or an eon – people say, "Oh – you were right!"
What you are doing is planting the seed – you are putting your hand upon their shoulders, literally and etherically, and gently saying, "Wake up – the world, your experience, Gaia, the kingdoms, the galaxy – is far more fabulous and exciting than you are paying attention to. So there is a whole realm of discovery that you are simply denying!"
And when you do that for others, it is miraculous. And let us be clear, that is the step before the full engagement with your star brothers and sisters – it has to be for most people because the awakening is to their own capacity, their own design, their own next chapter. It's not simply about external catalysing them into awakening – that will come. But it is the internal light, it is the internal spark, it is the internal awakening so that it can accept and meet and acknowledge and see what is occurring in the external.
So to answer your question, yes, this is part of what is open to you, and we are encouraging it.
Elias: Right. Yes. If I am to embark upon such a mission, which would involve much travel, I feel that it would need to be after the Reval, as my present financial constraints would effectively prohibit such a plan. I also wonder if I will have to embark on such work alone, or if there is anyone I can turn to as a travelling companion to share this work? I wonder if you can enlarge on this and advise me.
AAM: Yes. There will be a small cadre, and it is . . . think of it in this way – think of a group of about ten people, but not always or all ten present and accounted for, so some join for one leg, some join for another, so there is generally about three or four of you together. So you are correct, and yes, it will be after you have – how shall we say – the 'wherewithal' to do this.
Elias: Yes, and no doubt I'll get some advice then at a later stage on how to go about it.
AAM: But in that you will also have the gift of a 'homebase' because this level of engaging can be exhausting, and so while it is exhilarating and fulfilling, it can also be tiring. So it will be important for you – and for your family – to have this homebase.
(1) The prophet Elijah.
(2) Private, post-Reval project – for now.
(3) Andrew has his future home in England already selected and AAM is keeping it off the market, pending the Reval.
(4) Steve: He assumed form for a few seconds outside my apartment one day. When I turned to look again, he had vanished. He assumed form when KW was walking across the street and more or less "moon-walked" around her, completely wowing her. Again in Portland, when KW and I were walking in the downtown area, he assumed form for a few seconds as a homeless person. (He later confirmed in all instances that it was him.) As Hebrews 13:2 says: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

'The Flash' Movie Loses Director
Seth Grahame-Smith is no longer directing "The Flash" movie due to creative differences with Warner Bros, Variety reported on Friday:
"The Flash" would have been the feature directorial debut for Grahame-Smith, who authored and wrote the screenplays for "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
Grahame-Smith wrote the script for "The Flash," based on a treatment from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Ezra Miller is starring as the speedy superhero — also known as Barry Allen — and was introduced in Warner's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
The movie was due March 3, 2018 and that's now up in the air as Warner Bros. looks for another director.
This is really super disappointing. They should just let the creative team of "The Flash" TV series do it. 🙂

Ohio State Researchers Identify Why Lithium Batteries Age
Published: 17-Dec-2012
The lithium-ion batteries commonly used in hybrid and electric-only cars could fail earlier than expected because of a newly-discovered problem with the current collector.
Researchers led by Ohio State University engineers examined used car batteries and discovered that over time lithium accumulates beyond the battery electrodes, in the current collector - a sheet of copper which facilitates electron transfer between the electrodes and the car's electrical system.
"Our study shows that the copper current collector plays a role in the performance of the battery," says Professor Bharat Bhushan.

Contemporary artist / untitled-07
Caroline Andrieu / 為"Vogue"和"GQ網站的藝術總監
After her graduation in Graphic Design from the Ateliers de Sèvres (Paris) and EPSAA, Caroline Andrieu has been the art director of Condé Nast Digital France, for Vogue and GQ websites during five years. In 2011, she joined GQ print magazine graphic studio and was promoted head of the iPad version.
Daughter of a French printer and a Slovakian librarian, the young artist has always been passionate about the print object and was drawn into two cultures. During her studies, her imagination was stimulated by Ingres's classic drawings, surrealism (Dali or Hans Bellmer), contemporary art (Sophie Calle, Matthew Barney) or graphic novels (Charles Burns, Daniel Clowes). She gets inspiration from many major sources including contemporary photography or independent movies...
Since she joined Condé Nast, her interest for fashion has been expending. The illustrator focused on her practice of portrait – her family, faces of actors she finds in magazines- to the catwalks. Each season, she selects pictures from Paris, Milan, London or New York and she offers her vision. « What interests me is to liven up the sensuality of materials, of colors, to translate the model's expressions and sophistication of the hairstyles. Bring back a picture to Life. » Like silent movies' actress, Lara Stone, Eniko Mihalik, Olga Sherer and the others, the model finds a personality. At first glance, those powerful and fleeting images looks like watercolours. Caroline realises it on large papers and uses colour pencils for the details and inks to boost the drawing and make it thicker.
Her drawings are now attracting clients from all around the world; they are all seduced by her website (www.untitled-07.com). She already collaborated with sharp and confidential editorials like Rouge (China), major titles such as Vogue (France, Turkey), advertisements for luxury brands (BMW Magazine, Diesel Factory, Lancôme). Caroline also likes more intimate projects, like the accessories she's designing for the trendy eyewear brand Waiting for the Sun, or t-shirts with poetic drawings she creates for Gat Rimon and for the Swedish brand POPCPH. She also knows how to tackle ambitious projects: Printemps Haussmann in Paris commissioned her drawings for its window display, several times. In the winter 2012, she participated in a group exhibition named « Faces » in Paris's 12 Mail Gallery with the Comics world's greatest names and signatures.
In 2013, she will be illustrating the Fashion Insiders Guides for Abram's Edition in New York, which are going to be published in April. But most of all, she continues to draw the people around her, an almost daily practice, « for the sake of the true portrait ».

N/a very open....will be making the website based on a good logo...
Accepted File Formats:
I am looking for a fresh clean modern logo. Currently we have no logo and we are starting a new website. I want to get a logo that suggests Quality over quantity. This is a small business and I prefer to sell high quality equipment want the logo to show that. Most of my products are for desktop use and employ a Cube design. I will be selling mostly CNC machining equipment, specifically CNC routers for home use. The bread and butter of the business will be this cube design. If requested I will send you a picture of the equipment (possibly have a logo that emulates my cube design). It has been my experience to not limit someones creativity by making particular restrictions. That being said you are free to do what ever you want with this logo, the only recommendation is to not have a cartoon like logo. Professionalism is a must.

If you think you can, you're right.
If you think you can't, you're right.
Your thoughts, which you can control, will develop your character. It'll also contribute heavily to all your circumstances in life.
By virtue of thought, you can live in ignorance and pain, or enlightenment and happiness.
If you think life's problems are caused by external forces, then you haven't realized the power of your own mind.
I'm in prison serving a 43 year sentence. I've never been happier. I've learned to control my mind. I can choose to focus on anything I want…regardless of my situation.
I refuse to be disillusioned by prison life. I've decided to make the most out of my life.
There was a time not too long ago, when my mind was my worst enemy. My thinking was 100% responsible for my incarceration, and all my misconduct while in prison. I was already in prison, and I continued to head in the wrong direction. (read my ebook Stone City: Life In The Penitentiary)
To change my life's direction, I needed to control my mind and change how I thought. I slowly realized that I could improve the quality of my life if I could harness the power within my mind, and then focus that power in a positive direction.
The Department of Corrections refused to help me on my new found quest, because I have too much time. (read my blog: Rehabilitation, It's My Choice)
I did not use the denial of self help programs as an excuse to give up. I know that I'm responsible for my life. I found ways to inspire positive thinking. I started to meditate as I reviewed my thoughts regularly. (read my blog: Inspiration Rocks)
As my positive behavior validated my new found power, I then asked myself, "What would happen if I had bigger thoughts? What would happen if I challenged myself like never before?"
Well my friends, we're about to find out. My goals are huge! First and foremost I want to be the best husband, brother, son, nephew, cousin, grandson, uncle, and friend I can be.
Secondly, I want to be a multi-millionaire before I get out.
I have realized the power of the mind. I can have and achieve anything I want in life. There is no limit when it comes to what I can do.
If I think I can, I can!
If I think I can't, I can't!
And guess what?

2013 Dodge Dart: the hot compact car
The 2012 FIAT 500 — Drive a New Italian Classic — Now Available at a FIAT Studio. www.fiatusa.com
Mazda RX-8 Nashville — Buy an All New 2012 Mazda Today. — Visit a Dealer & Compare Vehicle! www.driveamazda.com/Nashville
Past Dodge Dart cars at Allpar: Dart (1960-62) • Dart (1963-66) • Dart (1967-76)
Using the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a new sedan is due to be made in the United States, with full production starting in April 2012 (delayed from January). It will finally fill in a gap left by the Neon.
The car was in early pilot production in late October 2011. As early as 2009, this car was planned on extended Fiat C-EVO dimensions and the Fiat electronics network, along with a retuned Chrysler World Gas Engine and the 1.4 liter turbocharged Fiat engine. One version of the new Dodge will get 40 mpg.
The reliable source oh2o wrote that it will be surprisingly well equipped, with SE (base) getting 16 inch wheels, and SXT and Limited going to 17" wheels; there will be a Rallye option for the SXT. All trim lines will get lots of airbags including knee bags (possibly for passengers as well), LED tail lamps, and optional Blind Spot/Cross Path detection and trailer sway damping; HIDs will be optional as well. Well appointed interiors will have tilt/telescope steering column even on SE; Limited will get a heated steering wheel. Seats will be covered in cloth fabric with accents, denim seats, or leather.
All wheel drive is coming, perhaps with late availability. Some sources claim a nine-speed automatic is in the cards, but if so, it's going to be a late arrival.
The big new 8.4" stereos will be used with and without navigation, and backup cameras and 506-watt 9-speaker amps will be optional.
Retuning of the World Gas Engine was described by CJDR Tech: the 2.0 will have its VVT system retuned for a broader power band, sacrificing some peak horsepower but increasing gas mileage and performance; the manifolds will be swapped so the intake is in back; and the valvetrain will be updated to roller cam followers, doing away with the buckets on the valve springs.
Similar changes appear to be taking place on the 2.4 liter engine, which was originally quoted as running around 240 horsepower (we assumed the production version would be around 200), but now the 2.4 seems to be rated at 185 hp. Both the new 2.0 and new 2.4 are to be badged as Tiger Shark, (or Tigershark as the press release puts it), but it's possible there will be a hotter 2.4 for mid-sized cars.
The Fiat turbo 1.4 will also power the PF. Transmissions will most likely include the Fiat dual-clutch automated-manual transmission, with a manual transmission version of that transmission. It will use electrically boosted power steering, according to CJDR Tech.
oh2o wrote that a high priority was placed on aerodynamics, with a smooth underbody and new-for-Chrysler active grille shutters; transmissions will be the six-speed manual and a six-speed dual-clutch with AutoStick.
New source "PhantomSpazz" said the models would be the base SE, volume SXT, Rallye (possibly as an SXT package), R/T, and a Limited. It will reportedly be the longest, widest, and tallest car in its class, and the interior will be quieter than the very-quiet Chevrolet Cruze.
The 1.4 belts out around 160 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque in the Fiat 500 Abarth; it might be "downtuned" to around 150 hp for this application. The 2.4, according to PhantomSpazz, is currently estimated at 185 hp, a moderate boost over the current 172 hp 2.4; however, past rumors suggested that it would be more drivable, with horsepower not as restricted to the higher engine speeds. Torque for this engine is estimated at 170 lb-ft.
The 2.4 will be used in the R/T model, and is expected to get a bit over 32 mpg (highway). The Eco model, with 40 mpg, is slated for late arrival.
"PhantomSpazz" wrote that the interior would be easily best-in-class, including a full animated center cluster — when the car is turned on, the speedometer and gas gauge animate with the Dodge logo; leave your door open and a realistic 3D-rendered PF will show up in the EVIC with its door open. Turn by turn navigation includes a realistic car image; EVIC is seven inches diagonally, and as you drive, you see a flower growing if you are driving efficiently. The colors are "young and hip." … The LUX interior has a light leather, as seen in Journey, but with bright stitching, or black leather seats with red stitching. It has an aluminum-type dashboard which wraps around the radio, steering wheel and cluster, glowing around the edges. The RT and Lux model also come with mood lighting in the interior. There are lights near the passenger and driver feet, lights behind the interior door handles, lights in the center storage and lights in the bottom of both doors where you would keep maps and books.
"PhantomSpazz" also confirmed that the rear resembles the Charger, with the round racetrack lighting, and suggested that base pricing would not be far above the Fiat 500.
The new electric steering system eliminates the belt-driven "pump," instead having a sensor and electric motor mounted to the rack itself (of the rack and pinion system). The suspension will use MacPherson struts in front, shocks with upper and lower arms in back, in an aluminum cradle.
The Dart will be built in Belvidere, Illinois, which is being expanded with a 550,000 square foot body shop; the cost for upgrading the plant, including adding new machinery and tooling, is $600 million.
