Have Dodge just stuck a badge on an xB?

Originally a concept back in 2006 Dodge have give the nod to a production version of the Hornet, I can’t help but wonder if the success of the xB had a part to play in the decision making since it looks like the same freaking car!

More Effort Required

OK, they may have had the Nitro designers help to change it a little what with copyright infractions leaving gates open to law suits and all, but I hope it works out for them and that they take this endeavor a little more serious than that of the Nitro, I got really excited to see the Nitro when they had those funny ads just before the release but was so let down when I saw the finished product on the showroom floor, it just looked cheap.

Competition

If this car is to compete with the xB, Yaris, and Fit, its will need to look sharp and solid, that’s some tough competition however I would say their expected MSRP of less than $10k will get customers to the lots.

Due to be released in the U.S. and Europe in 2010.
