Marchionne may delay Dodge Dart launch to avoid April Fools' Day jinx

We're excited about the Dodge Dart, and why not? It's the first legitimate compact sedan offered by Chrysler since the Neon.

We're thinking Chyrsler CEO Sergio Marchionne is excited too, but perhaps not psyched enough to launch the Dart on April 1. USA Today reports that the outspoken chief executive mentioned that he wasn't too keen on launching on April Fools' Day, adding that he may want to change the launch date "to avoid being jinxed."

We not sure if Sergio was joking, but March 31 isn't jinxed as far as we can tell.
