In the meantime, wrap your head around this: I'm driving a $70k Hornet this week.A $70k Hornet without an Alfa badge? Yikes.I hear most are actually selling over list, dealers can keep them in stock. Incredibly strong demand for the PHEV models especially.

Other reviews are not exactly promising But the broader issue is Dodge is aiming the Hornet at a customer I’m not sure really exists. There’s a reason Volkswagen hasn’t built a Tiguan GTI, Honda hasn’t sold a CR-V Si, and the Toyota GR RAV4 remains a figment of our fevered dreams. Driving enthusiasts are spoiled for choice outside of the CUV segment while compact crossover shoppers simply don’t value performance the same way that Dodge’s loyal muscle car shoppers do. That leaves me worried that when the Hornet goes on sale, the only one it will sting is Dodgehttps://www.motor1.com/reviews/658503/2024-dodge-hornet-first-drive/

How are we going to bug each other once this site is shut down? I don't come here as often as I used too but I still enjoy seeing some of you getting old and grumpy.
