Looks good from what I can see. The C segment of the market could use some sportier looking cars.

If they make it the spiritual successor to this:



I'm OK with it.

Name not withstanding, the car looks like it could be decent. At least being Alfa based it should at the very least have a little genuine sportiness to the way it drives. How reliable are current Alfas?

Re: 2013 Dodge Hornet

That's one hell of a sloping belt line. But enough with the blackout grille already! And why does it have 4 doors, doesn't the Dodge Avenger already have that covered?

This car (it will not be called Hornet) is Dodge's competitor for the Focus, Corolla, Cruze, Civic, etc., while the Avenger is Dodge's competitor for the Fusion, Camry, Malibu, Accord, etc.

Re: 2013 Dodge Hornet

The Magnum was the only vehicle on that page that interested me. Maybe this time they'll give it a manual like God intended.
