it just doesn't belong in dodge's lineup. if it was in maybe chrysler's then it could work. dodge is known for performance, adrenaline and horsepower. it's why the charger and challenger have become so synonymous with the company. even the durango hellcat is more fitting in the company lineup. the hornet just doesn't work in that regard. it's not fast, it's not sporty, nor does it have the horsepower not to mention the price. an RT plus, which is the max trim goes for almost $50,000 also i did look into it, the hornet is already giving people problems with both electrical systems and engine did they not learn from the caliber that people don't want a crossover from DODGE, they coulda brought back the Magnum,
I got the RT blacktop plus. After 8000 miles I actually love this car for what it’s supposed to be. Torques awesome, I get about 40mpg on normal driving, the interior is great quality, big brakes, and it has pretty much the same 0-60 as a charger RT. I think it looks pretty decent, won’t say it’s the best ever looking car, but it’s not basic and is proportioned right. It’s very practical but has fair performance. It’s not a hellcat but it wasn’t designed to be. The MSRP is absurd which is why I’m leasing mine and got a fantastic 3000 down 206 a month payment.
To be fair I think the Hornet looks ok. People hate on this car befits not a charger or challenger with a V8. Everything cannot not be a V8. Dodge just doesn’t have a real car line up. You said is slow, read up on it and you will see it’s actually quick. Is it Honda or Toyota in quality, no it’s not. But it’s meant for a small family or someone just needing transportation with a little zing
No one wants to pay 40k -50k including tax and fees for it. If they want to sell them all , price them at 20-25k. Why pay 40k for that when you can get a new R/T or used Scat for that?
Nah, I disagree. I like the overall look of it. Especially, that grey model with the blackout trim. I just did a internet search of the Dodge Hornet, and overall, it gets decent reviews.
I'm confused. Not a single point was made in this video. Looks are subjective and that seems to be the only thing being mentioned in the entire video. They handle very well and have very decent power. Mid 5s to 60 is definitely not slow. That being said, they are extremely overpriced and I'm sure that's what killed their sales. 40-50k Is beyond ridiculous and you can easily find them for mid 20s to low 30s now. Reliability also is pretty bad, but that comes standard with any FCA product.
I work at a dodge dealership and this lady wanted to purchase a gold hornet and trade her blue Jeep in then I looked up and she took her plates off the hornet and didn’t buy it they sound horrible and have so many problems
if they priced it right with something like a Rav 4 or escape starting price of $25k they might sell it. I've never bought a cdrj product and thought i was getting some top quality car. and I've got a few knowing what I'm getting, I'm sure not buying anything from Stellantis that i expect to get a long service out of. that's what they make Toyota for if you want reliability
It’s not that I dislike the car. It’s just that it’s dime a dozen and doesn’t meet the needs of the average Joe because of the EV technology. I’m not opposed to EVs, but they’re still in their infancy. This would be like us trying to use the Wright Brothers’ plane for commercial flights
I think it’s a good looking car, everything you said you didn’t like about the car I liked, the upside down bee is actually a hornet, as far as off-roading in it, who cares some buy jeeps and fix them all up for off roading and never leave the pavement with them, like what’s the point, and you say it’s slow when it’s actually the fastest in it’s segment 288 hp 0to60 in 5.6 seconds is not slow, did you even bother looking at the specs, or just decide to jump on the ban wagon of everything dodge does sucks
@ ya sure go to any drag race and say time doesn’t dictate a win, I call b.s. on your comment, if anything has been hindered it’s your nonsensical reply
Great video bro. You know that car is from some other crappy country and they decided instead of designing something cool. They would just try to sell something crappy here. if you hate it, I hate it Slack gang forever. 👊
Why don't you trash cars that are worse . Honda v6 engines are blowing up and so are the Toyota ones with the v6 and Hyundai . These hornets are not perfect but some of the reviews have been positive
It's no worse than anything else in its segment. The only reason it's not selling is it's priced too high.
Not anymore. Dealerships have begun selling them 8-11k off MSRP. 💯
I think folks just hate this car because it's not what they want from Dodge.
The car isn't bad, crap like this is click bait.
i love mine

Stellantis really messed up the Dodge brand especially with the Hornet. You can get that piece of junk vehicle for over $15,000 off MRSP or more!
Dude is over exaggerating I’m not a fan of the hornet either but it’s not that bad and Dodge has made some much worse cars
Yeah I tend to agree

I heard ppl driving it kind of enjoyed it though

they should have just sold the full electric ones they use for nitrocross. this is just pitiful.
My coworker has one and enjoys it.
The problem is that its overpriced and is just another of what seens like hundreds of cuvs to choose from
This man should never be a suicide counselor.. Grief counselor etc.. Because the company will not be in business long..😢😮😢..

It not that bad

BEHOLD THE DODGE FIAT TOENAIL

3:35 remove the cover is a place to use a recovery hook, which might get a lot of use
Bull schitt on this guy just cuz you dont like it cuz its way overpriced
So you didnt drive it, you arent running specs youre just whining about the looks? Such a weird take bro. 😅
Sorry but i disagree , not a bad car . This is a car for a person who dont want a high note.
lol the Alfa Romeo Tonale isnt much better but its still something better (an SRT4 version would go hard ngl)
💯💪🏾👊🏾
@@slackonthego1489 and the Tonale is a HUGE improvement compared to this, especially because the base model of that is the high trim of this.
If you pass gas in one the booth will kick in
Its just a rebranded alfa Romeo
💯💪🏾👊🏾

0-60 doesn't dictate speed. there's more to it than a 0-60. if anything, that factor can actually hinder a vehicle's true speed
@ ya sure go to any drag race and say time doesn’t dictate a win, I call b.s. on your comment, if anything has been hindered it’s your nonsensical reply
Dude…. You need to move on, it’s not that bad!
Great video bro. You know that car is from some other crappy country and they decided instead of designing something cool. They would just try to sell something crappy here. if you hate it, I hate it Slack gang forever. 👊
Too expensive
Why don't you trash cars that are worse . Honda v6 engines are blowing up and so are the Toyota ones with the v6 and Hyundai . These hornets are not perfect but some of the reviews have been positive
The car is fine. It's a 30k car. I hate a lot of cars also. But you are acting like the car is 80k
Doesn't the alpha that it's based off of top out at 80k?
@Jag-leaper not sure what you are referring to.
The Alfa Romeo ?
@@JeremyZ22 yes. Sorry typo...the tonale
Buick envista looks better
They definitely suck
