They don't have
any small cars
now.... the Dart/200 is a
mid-size.
And mid-size sedans in general are dying off, not just for Dodge/Chrysler.

In spite of car sales growing, the mid-size sedan segment is decreasing. Not just because gas is cheap and buyers can afford something with poor fuel economy but because crossover SUV economy is UP and buyers can get a vehicle with more utility and nearly the same fuel economy. The mid-size sedan is now competing with the small crossover SUV, and the crossover is winning.
I think this is a smart business move for FCA. They have a very limited selection of cars right now and need to focus on only the ones that are very profitable.
