Re: Here it is. Dodge Hornet

I actually see a hint of Mini cooper mixed with a heap of Scion xB and some DC truck styling.

There is a bigger picture in this world other what you and your friends think.

Re: Here it is. Dodge Hornet

build it...this thing is exactly what an american car company needs in its lineup..something I wish the Aveo had as an option..a little pocket rocket car..just gotta have a 250HP SRT-4 option or something..
but the markets messed up, how in the world is the Scion selling..the Xb is a horror show on wheels this is 10x better looking and should sell real well..

Re: Here it is. Dodge Hornet

i don't like it.

It seems to me sometimes they try to design something that the designers they have, are not accustomed to. So they end up with something that could have been done much better by someone who is into that market much more.

Just does not flow well at all.

In exchange for building minivans for VW, it appears that VW will let DCX use it's Polo platform for the Hornet.

I always wanted a Polo but felt guilty about buying a VW. Now there is a vehicle for me.
