Thumbs up Dodge Hornet anyone digging this car?? Or maybe only Mini/xB owners interested :)

Looks like Dodge is trying to edge in on Scion xB and Mini sales Kinda funky looking but has grown on me. SRT-4 version could be a little rocket. Opinions? Thoughts? Rants? Raves?

Check it out - http://www.dodge-hornet.com

As small concept carts go its actually not bad... like the visible intercooler & the wheels, not sure about the front view tho - but it does sound like they've put a decent motor in it. Those doors look a bit strange - do the back ones open backwards, like the RX8?

I think so, it looks like the rear doors only open from the inside What I'm impressed with is it can get 0-60 in 6.7 seconds at 3100 pounds.. I expect a production vehicle would be lighter so it'd be faster than 6.7

Hah just realized the irony in me comparing this to a mini. http://www.dodge-hornet.com says that it actually has the same engine as that in the Mini.

It's not ironic, it's just a coincidence.

Cars looks like it should go 'meep meep' like Roadrunner
