Why the Dodge Hornet is Outselling all of Alfa Romeo (In the US)
The sales numbers are in: The Dodge Hornet has beaten it's sister car the Alfa Romeo Tonale in sales by 10:1, it's not even close. But this was the obvious outcome, given the massive price disparities and Dodge's name recognition in the United States compared to Alfa Romeo. However, in that regard, an Alfisti could be amused by the fact that many buyers have perhaps unwittingly found themselves in an Alfa and getting inducted into the cult of Alfa Romeo, even if indirectly.
The other good news is that the Tonale has sold very well in Europe, and has boosted Alfa Romeo sales by 200% in some countries. What does this mean for Alfa's future? In this video, I try to answer that question while looking at the US and European sales figures for the Dodge Hornet and the Alfa Tonale to see which one truly takes the crown.
Continue the discussion in the comments below on what you think the future will be like for Alfa Romeo. Do you like the Tonale? Or do you prefer the Hornet? Have you bought either one of them? Tell me your experience! And let me know about any mistakes in the comments below!

Honda Prelude - Back, But Doomed to Fail?
มุมมอง 2.6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Honda Prelude was Honda's front-drive, tech filled sports car/coupe for the '70s through the '90s, but despite some state of the art features the Prelude was given the axe after the 2001 model year. Not, more than twenty years later, Honda is bringing the Prelude back as a sporty hybrid powered coupe, seemingly set to fill the coupe shaped gap in Honda's current lineup. With most modern cou...

      @jerryjones2818 Congrats on not watching the video. The Fiero is not a kit car, and I never claimed it to be. This video also covers the topics of the Mera Fiero and Zimmer Quicksilver, which I make some arguments for not being kit cars also. A segment of the video is, however dedicated to the various bodykits available for the Fiero and the variety of custom fake Ferraris and Lambos that Fieros get turned into, i.e. kit cars. 👍

    Brother... As a fellow XF owner.. Lose the hat, lose the gloves. You're making us look bad. Also for the subject, no Jaguar enjoyer wants an electric Jag, not once has anyone said "I wish this was electric". Tata done lost their minds. Brand will be gone within 10 years. I've enjoyed my x260 diesel for sure.

    • @velocemidwest
      @velocemidwest หลายเดือนก่อน

      For super high end luxury I can kind of understand the EV argument as the big V12s and W12s were designed to be silent, smooth, comfort machines, and EV arguably does those very things. Jaguar in that direction, though, eeeh yah not sure about that. Historically they were kind of like a cheaper alternative to Bentley and Aston, but that was pretty far back. Since then their engines, regardless of their reliability, kind of became their charm, the various V8s and V6s and their SC variants. To compete with Bentley, I don't know if the Jaguar name has that prestige, and EV kind of defeats their purpose. They were always kind of meant to be less refined and more rowdy than the other British luxury brands, a car with some attitude that had some class. 10 years is probably a good bet before they go under or get sold off again. Lol about the hat and gloves. No comment, really.

    • @velocemidwest
      @velocemidwest หลายเดือนก่อน

      I mean, the current Bronco is sold as a direct competitor to the Jeep Wrangler, so it's the most obvious comparison. It could also probably take on an '85 Bronco. As to what a "real" Bronco is that's a bit subjective. I could argue the only real Broncos were the first gen trucks from '66 to '77.
