Look out Mini!Quote »Dodge today announced the new 2007/2008 Dodge Hornet Concept, a vehicle designed to bring to the B-segment market a unique blend of European sensibility regarding engine size and overall footprint with an American flare for aggressive attitude and flexible interior space. "We wanted the Hornet to be dynamic, nimble, fun to drive, and have an adaptable space-efficient interior," said Mark Moushegian, principal exterior designer. "At the same time we set out to create a vehicle with a uniquely American character to expand the image and presence of the Dodge brand in Europe and international markets, especially in the entry-level market."Link to full article --> http://www.leftlanenews.com/20...-1726

Hey, leave the poor xB out of this. It's ugly, but it's likeable. I don't know. I'm on the fence about the Hornet. For one, the name brings to mind the AMC Hornet and that's not good.Two, I'm just not sold on the size. But, it's hard to get a good feel for the scale of it just from a photo so I'll reserve judgement for now and just say "it's not bad".

That looks bad (removed)!!!I like it. Much better than the Caliber in my opinion, possible Vibe replacement for me.

If these three were musicians they would be the Dixie chicks. Two of them look O.K., but not enough style. The third is small and kinda cute but has WAAAAAAYYY to big of a mouth!
