Dodge is trotting out the Hornet in Geneva. I think it's a slick piece - sort of a cross between a Mini and a Xb. Would have much rather seen this stateside over the Caliber.

Your thoughts?




Hot or Not!
I like it!

Would make good Scion and upcoming small Honda and Nissan Competition.

Is it at all remotely possible for them to find a designer with taste?

Looks like they've made it clear with the ish they've been pouring out. Nasty

From head-on it looks like an angry robot. But I'd still check it out.

Additional info and pics:

"This Hornet concept, goes after the small, spiffy and economical European B-segment. The hunched down, wide-bodied, front-wheel-drive hatch will run 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, thanks to a single-cam 1.6-liter supercharged four-cylinder that generates 170 hp and 165 lb-ft. The engine mates to a six-speed manual transmission. While performance is important to Europeans, practicality reigns supreme in this class. The trendy interior makes the most of its compact dimensions with the front passenger seat and the rear seats all capable of folding forward to provide a flat loading bay."

Aptly named.

What are the side impact regulations in Europe v. the U.S.? I can't imagine a B-pillarless car being viable at that price point.

Looks like an xB on 'roids. I can't stand the xBs, but that Hornet looks badass!
