For its new compact car, Dodge has decided to revive the Dart nameplate. It’s also going to be using a stretched and widened Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform - known as Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) - to underpin it, emphasising the ever-closer links between Fiat and Chrysler Group products.

The 2013 Dart is due to be revealed at next month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but in the meantime a few images have been released by Dodge as part of a teaser campaign.

These show the trademark crosshairs front grille, flanked by distinctive projector headlights. At the back, there’s a Charger-inspired ‘racetrack’ LED light array and prominent dual exhausts.

For the interior, decent soft-touch materials are promised, while an 8.4” Uconnect touch screen and a customisable Thin Film Transistor (TFT) gauge cluster will be available. The Dart gets ten airbags as standard, and it’s claimed to have best-in-class hip and shoulder room.

A choice of three four-cylinder petrol engines is going to be offered, two of which come with Fiat’s MultiAir valvegear technology for significantly improved fuel consumption and emissions.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
