: Lack of new Hornet discussion material
ua_who 08-12-2008, 08:03 PM Where's the new info? Where's the hot news??
Let's see what we've talked about so far:
Price---------------------------5
Looks--------------------------5
Performance--------------------5
Fuel Economy-------------------5
Comparison to other cars--------5
Anything else guys? (and gals)
And yes, I realize that I'm not helping the situation here at all either... so I'm just as guilty. :(
Impound04 08-13-2008, 06:31 AM that about sums it up. i wish i could find some more info about it but i have no luck with being the first to find stuff. new info would be nice. production dates would be better.
UN4GTBL 08-13-2008, 08:37 AM well the brother of a friend of an uncle of my grand father's step daughter's third daughter's boyfriend's father's neighbour who works at Dodge said it will be a SRT4 with 350 hp and AWD with a 6-speed
How's that for news :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
(Incase you can't tell, I made that all up:notallthere:)
ua_who 08-13-2008, 03:12 PM ... Dodge said it will be a SRT4 with 350 hp and AWD with a 6-speed...
I'm quoting you on that one!
I may paraphrase a little, and take it out of context, but it's still a quote!

BluestedSRT 08-14-2008, 03:23 PM Chrysler is working a deal with Fiat.
nycalirt 08-16-2008, 11:31 PM Accordin to Allpar...Nissan and Chrysler has given updates on a "small-car" join venture for North America sales, but didn't say what it was. If I remember right (too late to look right now), they said all of the development stages were just about complete. They want to have it out for the 2010 model year. Also, they said they've selected a name, but weren't going to say anything until the release of the vehicle. Whether or not this is the Hornet is the actual vehicle their talking about, but I hope its something like it at least. Chrysler REALLY needs a vehicle like this, or about the size as the Neon.
But...right now its kind of hard to talk about a vehicle that doesn't currently exist. Thats where there's so little chatting in here about the Hornet. If Chrysler were to announce it, then things would pick up tremendously!
Fastmover 08-24-2008, 07:38 AM I put this in another thread....
Reported July 31 by Jeremy Cato (authoritative Canadian auto journalist) that the Hornet is coming in 2011. Maybe I could wait til 2010, but 2011?
Moving Darkness 08-27-2008, 02:03 PM All I know is that I want another new car to pay off, and I want it to be this one.
Hurry up dodge!!!

Oh wait... you DO list a ton of mods in your sig! And (I'm assuming here) they are there... so it works.

:jester::jester: if only i had some more money, then the list would be longer! i am moving in a month and a half which should cut my rent down by half so that will help.
that is in a span of 3 years since i bought it so i had to do somthing with my time and money. plus i'm big on individuality so anything i would own wouldn't be stock for long
ua_who 09-09-2008, 02:53 PM I find my modding bug goes in spurts. A couple of years I'll do alot... then nothing for a few years... then back on again... etc.
or
I have money... and I spend it all... so I wait to get more... so I spend it all... etc.:jester:
Impound04 09-10-2008, 12:26 AM i made a list on the computer of all the stuff that i need to get the car where i'm somewhere happy with and it hasn't chagned in a while. it makes me sad.

No I asked an admin on the caliberforums cause I'm a Super Mod over there too, if he could get rid of all that spam, and he wrote back that he made me a Mod over here too! :rocker:

Charlie 10-13-2008, 12:00 AM I was surfing on another forum when I came across this.
I came across this on another mopar site. The poster is a dealer that has seen the new charger/300:
Quote
The Charger they showed us was still in clay, but Giles said that he was trying to capture the look of the 69 Charger R/T. The car retained a lot of the current Chargers look, but the body lines had more edge the rear quarters were taller the hood looks like the current hood in use on the 08 Magnum and the body sides were concaved like the 69 Charger. The rear doors appeared to melt into the body, if we get Charger they showed us it will blow your socks off. The 300 doesn’t stray to far from the original design, again sharper edges and very refined. The big improvement is in the interiors, again if they stick to what we saw then you’ll be blown away. The Interiors were beautiful a lot of attention to detail. The Hornet looks like the prototype, kind of looks like a cross between the first Scion xb and the Honda Element. The New Grand Cherokee looks like a Mercedes Benz Grand Cherokee, they dropped the boxy look the vehicle has soft rounded lines, again a lot to attention to detail.
It sounds like the Hornet is still alive.
ua_who 10-13-2008, 10:19 AM Nice find Charlie.
I wish they'd publish some pictures.
Charlie 10-14-2008, 03:39 AM It sounds real promising. I can't wait to see it.
nycalirt 11-02-2008, 06:37 PM We'll have to see how this merger thing goes. We may not have to worry about anything with any new products as they'll probably all be scrapped. I'd love to see what the new Charger looks like though.

Imo, it's hard to improve on the near perfection if the current exterior design. I think they are going to fukk it up.

I hope not Charlie. I agree with you that the exterior of both the Charger and Challenger are very well done.
No changes needed.
Charlie 11-04-2008, 01:49 AM I hope not Charlie. I agree with you that the exterior of both the Charger and Challenger are very well done.

yep, no exterior changes need. They just need to give us better suspension, a more powerful engine, manual tranny and maybe refresh the interior a bit.
ua_who 11-04-2008, 11:03 AM yep, no exterior changes need. They just need to give us better suspension, a more powerful engine, manual tranny and maybe refresh the interior a bit.
A 6-speed like the Challenger has would be nice.
I think the new 370hp Hemi will be about it on the HP range for the RT.
nycalirt 11-04-2008, 06:17 PM I've read where the new Charger is going to have a more retro look to it. But then again, someone is probably just pulling something out of their arse.
ua_who 11-04-2008, 08:07 PM I've seen alot of sketches and concepts, but nothing even remotely official from Dodge. I'd be OK with a more retro look, but it's hard to see them messing too much with something that is currently successful and only has 3-years of history.
Maybe 2011 or 2012 for a major face lift?
Charlie 11-04-2008, 10:52 PM A 6-speed like the Challenger has would be nice.

someone in the Charger Forums tested drove a 6 spd Challenger and said it wasn't all that. I believe his biggest complaint is the gearing is all wrong.

That's dissappointing to hear. I read Hot Rod magazine and they said the 6-speed was perfect.
Charlie 11-05-2008, 11:17 AM I just found an article in the Dec. issue of Motor Trend. Under the article "2010: the year the future arrives" was a couple of sentences about the Hornet.
"The 2011 Dodge Hornet. All sheetmetal has changed since the Hornet concept made its 2006 geneva debut. Chrysler is looking to market it as a "fashion" B+ segment car, which means the hatchback body (see Mini) may survive. Will be based on a Nissan platform and produced by that automaker as part of an agreement in which Chrysler will build the next Nissan Titan on a Dodge Ram chassis."
If I understand it correctly, it will not look anything like the concept.
