      My dear quoted me 42k with tax, tag, doc fee, nitrogen, 2 year dent protection and "lifetime" power training warranty for GT PLUS GAS. Carmax which is usually expensive has it for 26k with 6k miles so probably worth 20k as a 2023 wholesale. That's without interest charge. Losing 20k or more is not happening for me

    Most all Lexus easily last to 200,000+ miles while the Dodge Hornet's life expectancy is in the medium to poor range according to those that rate such things, The Hornet RT may be more fun to drive in its shorter life (better handling, etc). Dodge Hornet sales in 2023 was dismal (just barely over 9,000 sold in 2023) while about 25,000 Lexus NX 450's were sold. As others said the Hornet R/T is way over priced for what it is.

      I bought a 23 GT plus a few months ago...was not on my radar but my niece bought one when they 1st came out and had had zero issues one year in and 23k miles. I drove her's on a recent trip home and was impressed. When my local dealer had big discounts on the hood i stopped in got 9.4 k off sticker which was just under 40k. With my equity on my trade, after 3 yrs of payments i'll have only pd 16k for it. Been great so far...had some warning lights go off and some random alarm trips here and there but a software update took care of it. Never ownded a car, and I've owned plenty including some exotics, that gets so many thumbs up in traffic or compliments in parking lots. People really seem to like them.

I'm glad they at least kept some combustion capability. At this point that's the best we can hope for from most companies. That same car with a 3.8 V6 and a little turbo or hybrid for boost with an 6 spd transmission would be more in-line with my taste. That would be a real

    I drove a Hornet R/T track pack as a demo for 5 months/9500km. This thing is a very serious performance machine when you want to surprise bimmer drivers and costs basically nothing to run when you don't push it. I changed the 20s for 18s for better track performance and my oh my what a difference!
    I sold it a few weeks ago and I actually miss driving it.
    It takes a few km to learn how to effectively exploit the performance. Use Supreme fuel, max regeneration works best in sport mode. I know it's a dodge but throw into a corner and... you get a serious handling machine.
    2 complaints:
    Price, this thing does not sell in Canada at a MSRP just over 71k for the machine I was
    driving.
    Of it was a rwd biased awd like the Alfa Romeo Strelvio I would have taken an other one.
    Bottom line, it's perfect for a single dude that likes to save on gas and also loves to scare himself in corners.

    For an suv, it looks good. There are many elements of this vehicle that are great, but some things are missing. There were some head scratchers with this one. Price is high, but everything is high these days.

    They are on pace to sell about 30,000 a year, which is far less than they wanted (they were looking to move around 90,000 a year). In my opinion, the problem is mostly perception. No one looking for a CR-V would ever think "let me go to a Dodge dealer". The people who do walk into a Dodge dealer, are not the target market for a CR-V competitor. That said; the vehicle is competitive, and if you stick with the standard gas model, it really stacks up well to a CR-V. I think the longer these are out, the more the word will get out on them.

    While the budget Alfa isn't too bad I'm probably going new Mini Countryman JCW over this. I mean if they are "giving" them away with a big discount then you might be swayed but agree with you, for the price it is missing some key features that competitors in the price range and size would have.

    I know exactly why the Sunroof hasn't been released it being reengineered the Renegade which the Hornet had major issues with the Sunroof and the the plastic guides were notorious for breaking causing the sunroof to become inoperable. But I have a feeling that the Hornet is just a stop gap measure until the new STLA Medium arrives, I do
    like the Hornet but it is a parts bin car to keep development costs down so why are they gouging the consumers, this shouldn't be no higher than $35k

      I have a GT plus with a sunroof, the track pack which adds the 20's, dual mode suspension and Alcantara seats deletes the sunroof, although I believe you can option it back in. I thought the 20's gave it too harsh of a ride so stuck with the 18's on the backtop pkg.
