All because of the French surrender.... Yeah I said it.

Not a single person there to test drive those things. That’s hilarious. What were they thinking. 😂
Fun fact, Hornet leads the industry in days of inventory on hand.
Im calling out the lack of the elephant in the room.... The new hornet is basically a phucked over newer version of the 80's Dodge Omni/ Plymouth Horizon.. 🙄🤮
Good luck with the Ram who the hell wants a full-size pick up truck that doesn’t have a naturally aspirated V8? Not me.
The Hornet is the gateway to being nonexistent. It’s sad but I really think Stellantis wants Dodge gone…they only want Jeep and Ram.
Im not so sure they want Jeep either because they are doing the same thing to that brand as well. :(
you're half right...
they only ever wanted Jeep only....buyers worldwide will buy them...🧐
@@jrs9264 With what they're doing to Jeep, unless there's a starkly different non-USA model being sold, I'm not sure how they expect to really keep people buying new Jeeps.
If they think truck buyers want a small twin turbo 6 cylinder they are making the hornet designers work on both models. Who else has been that out of touch?
Stellantis should just sell off the brand in hopes that someone else can bring it back to life.
I'm in the Northeast of the US. So far I've seen only 3 Hornets on the road. And of the 3, one was being driven by the owner of the dealership and another was being fueled at a gas station by a salesman.
The Toyota RAV4 is a better quality vehicle and cost the same as the Hornet
I would buy a RAV4 over day over a Hornet, even with the RAV4 being a chick car.
Stellantis just told USA employees to not come in to work today and that it was a work from home day.
Then, Stellantis sent out an email to these employees and fired them.
Please look more into this and make a video on it.
At this point, I would be shocked if Dodge isn't gone by the end of the decade.
I give em 4 more years.
Nobody wants a foodstamp Tonale.
You cannot keep your hands clean when polishing a turd.
Stellantis Unfortunately Dodge will go the way of Olds, Pontiac, mercury and plymouth. Ram and jeep will live on for how long no one knows.
Dodge is going to end up like Oldsmobile and pontiac.
Plymouth ,Mercury , Saturn, amc -eagle
And don't forget Plymouth--bring back the Roadrunner--Beep Beep!
Imperial and DeSoto.
R/T badge without a V8 behind it is just WRONG.
This entire EV mandate thing is a big disaster.
Government dropped the ball on that decision!
We go to Mecum every year in Indy. The line to take the thrill ride with a Hellcat was always packed. Typical wait time was half an hour. Guess we will walk right past the Hornet this year. What a shame...
I remember years ago when the magnum 1st came out. Dodge had this cool course set up in the zoo parking lot where you really got to drive them. Flooring it from a dead stop and hitting 50, then slamming on the breaks. Bunch of bumps and other things. It was pretty cool. But yeah, I am not even test driving a hornet. Nah, lol
Dodge needs to go away...now!
Much love TK, but that last comment was pretty uncalled for and makes Americans look ignorant considering if it wasn't for France, we would all still be British. This is not a national/cultural thing, it's a corporate greed thing and Stellantis is a greedy corporation whose product just happens to be cars.
Stellantis 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👹👹👹
Hornets are dying on dealer lots, replacement batteries are on intergallactic backorder. Major quality issues throughout the entire vehicle. Almost seems like the Hornets are the Tonales that failed QC inspection. Not to mention hideously overpriced for what it is.
The GT model (gas only, NOT the R/T hybrid) is a little better, runs well but again, overpriced and definitely NOT a muscle car.
Hornet doesn't interest me, shame they ruined the name, the 70's version was cooler. That said, I am interested in the 2.0 4 cylinder, if i've heard right it's based off the Hurricane TT Inline 6 I see the potential for a compact car possibly a full out race setup based off a small FWD (race conversion for a promod type chassis of course) running against the small 4 bangers in the 6 and 7 second quarter miles wars. I can even see these with the right mods being a lightweight engine for like a Plymouth arrow for a new style street cruiser or even an autocross type racer
fyi: the plymouth arrow was not a chrysler vehicle , it was a Mitsubishi! with a badge , sold by chrysler dealers. 💯🤔
from my prospective to many suvs are out there now and they all look the same
My mom had a Hornet when I was in high school, had they bought back the Gremlin it would have been a home run.
😅 TK gives absolutely No f*ks, he's gonna give the truth as he sees it, raw dog, raw truth, fearless! Respect to you for keeping it 💯!
The best thing Dodge Manufacturer Company can do right now:
Is to leave it's Parent company Stellantis...
Bring back the viper, a "baby viper", the Dakota (small affordable truck), the Coronet (sedan, 4door, 2door, & convertible), reignite The Plymouth brand with a few great older names with performance, compactable, & AFFORDABILITY IN MIND... put the theme of: "FUN, exciting & practicality" back in their minds when designing & creating new vehicles... oh, & bring back the caravan for the kid-hauler... & in process of all the dust, launch a new Roadrunner...
that could be the ultimate flipping the Stellantis parent company the bird as Dodge goes back to making great vehicles & leaving the Stellantis house behind in the dust.
They would have to buy themselves out of Stellantis' hands and that would probably be a decade long process if they were lucky. It would make for quite a comeback story if they could pull it off. Similar to HD getting out from under AMF. Each new car sale gets 1 share? Get a car and a piece of the company. A very tiny symbolic piece but still.
Use Ed O'Neill in "Al Bundy" form.
"Uh, Kids - or should I say, lackeys of the green devil Thunberg. I need your help. Dodge is in trouble. Come my children, to the garage. We Bundy three will guard against those who would pillage and plunder performance to leave us with the soft whirring of an appliance only your mother could love."
"Now Listen to me Peg. You can nag, you can cry, you can whinny, bleat and moo, but I will never sell the Dodge."
"To the Vroomy Bar!" (dealer showroom)
"Would you look at the lung capacity on that beauty, Jefferson? 3.0 liters of supercharged suck and blow, energizing 6.4 liters of Hemi power. The only whining a man finds appealing."
"Tomorrow I will drive out, Al Bundy, old Dodge owner and drive back in, Al Bundy, new Demon owner."
A No Ma'am First Edition? Maybe Elon Musk would like to branch out into ICE automobiles? He could sell all of his yearly Tesla credits to his Dodge corporation so that all Dodges can be Hemi powered.
Except the Hornet, that goes back to the frog eaters.
A wino couple walk up to the desperate Stellantis employees trying to sell Hornets.
Wino guy - "We're a couple winos who don't want to drink and drive."
Wino gal - "So we wanna buy a hornet. Here's your 40 bucks."
Stellantis - "$40? It was supposed to say $40,000."
Wino guy - "Hey, we're not that drunk."
They tried to evoke the K-car/Neon tradition and even showed an Omni GLH-inspired version but then came in hot with a $30k base price and most early-build cars being optioned up to around $40k. Get the price/value proposition right and it might still be a decent seller. It's not *bad* from what we know so far but it's not worth what they want for it.
LOL at the test drive event. Hornet is a steaming pile. Dodge needed a modern Neon, not a rebadged and insanely-overpriced Alfa.
Good idea, a new cheap small sporty american coupe 🤔
Yeah except a suv equivalent because sedans don’t sell anymore. Something inexpensive and Chrysler/Dodge developed.
A new Neon SRT4 in the vein of the Fiesta ST would be awesome, but would probably be auto only, heavy and electrified unfortunately.
Dodge already had a modern Neon it was called the Dart and those tards gave up on it before they gave it a real chance.
@@MilkieMilkers yeah we never got a proper SRT Dart. Reality was the Dart was too big and heavy to be the Neon successor we were all wanting; not a bad car at all, just not a Neon.
You nailed it TK, Stellantis screwed up big time.
It started in the 60's when AMC bought Willys. Then Renualt bought AMC for the Jeep and killed AMC line. Then Chysler bought AMC renualt for the Jeep and killed the rest of the line. It is evolution for the Jeep brand
What if they used that platform with the non-turbo/non hybrid 2.0 as a Neon replacement or even a Caliper replacement with a low selling price? It might get customers back into the show rooms.
Stellantis is an ESG accounting firm. They are loyal not to their customers, but to the Paris Climate Accord. To Stellantis: Baisez-vous.
lol, no, they are loyal to the board and investors, they don't care about the climate, they care only about making $$$ in the short term.
Wow, thanks, i had no idea. We know now where this is all headed😢
I have yet to see one of those on the road. I was at the NY auto show a couple weeks ago n the only one from Stellantis that showed up was Jeep. It's really sad what they've become.
I've always been a car guy. I just can't get excited about SUV's / CUV's.
all so front wheel drive yuck
I'm calling it now, next time I go to visit family down south the Hornet'll be a free upgrade to my "Economy, Kia Rio or similar" rental.
good morning friend watching from pasig philippines..god bless and more power to ur y.t channel..
Good morning @Tk's Garage on the reply crew for later today 🙏😇
Stellantis doesn’t care about sales in America because somehow they make money worldwide. The Hemi engines were made in Mexico 🇲🇽 and as far as I know the challenger Hellcat was assembled in Canada. Therefore it seems that it wasn’t living up to being an “American” brand. With that out of the way, I’d like to pickup a narrow body Hellcat in late May. 😀
I think they would have had better luck bringing back the NEON. LMAO!
Most people who bought a Dodge didnt buy a crossover. Those same people are still not buying a crossover.
I would consider buying one of these for my kids to drive but the msrp is crazy, up to 53k?
It’s a mistake to be emotionally attached to a car brand. Between ever stringent government regulations, electric mandates, the UAW labor contracts - there is little chance that any of the big legacy companies will exist in the next 10 to 15 years.
if the I6TT was an option then I would be interested, not saying I'd buy one but it would make me want to do a test drive.
lol at test driving an SUV unless you're actually interested in buying that particular model.
I believe
Ha! Wait till they see their sales figures when the Charger & Challenger cease production!! Sell your stock NOW!!!
It’s the government forcing them man. It’s not what they would decide
I don't see any more dodge products roaming around on the streets any more in mass 1 car per 3 mth I see dodge most mustang Toyota Mercedes BMW some time Ferrari in mass
If stalantis was smart it would paint a few of these some of their bright colors put some striping on it. Give it to some RUclipsrs like yourself for a month or two to review give them the results only. On what can be improved and take it from there honestly. I’m an old man like yourself Dodge lost me years ago. The cars from the late 60s and 70s All had automatic transmission problems and ballast resistors In 1980 I fixed their problematic Lindenberg system got a hold of Chrysler and honestly they did. They gave me a brand new 1981 Chrysler Cordova for the fix then, of course, the Dodge truck problems, same deal mainly automatic transmissions the problem is Dodge/Jeep has a very bad reputation for reliability and breakdowns and be honest just like Ford Chevrolet has problems with their cam and lifter scenario so they wonder why I have German and Japanese vehicles now for the most part, but I do have a Chevy pick up
I just bought a 2024 Mustang GT
Wow
Man 😅
What's wrong wirh the Hornet? They could be building Omnis and Neons again.
I knew the hornet was joke just like when the dart was supposed to be the car to buy.
How about this peps, just ONE example….
Chrysler 300 Dodge Charger/Challenger, check the sales, over the past 5-7 years. Now, add up ALL the alfas and other talian sales over the same period (or hell, look at 10 years for the FiatAlfa lines).
Who in there right mind would chose to invest ANY $ in those Italian lines ?
Of course you would do new chrysler/dodge products, and relegate the italians to last decade tech. OF COURSE YOU WOULD.
Now, our VIPER. You guys know how bad EVERY manufacturer wants and needs the Halo car. Viper should have been re designed, hell just follow Corvette if you forgot what Iacocca did.Now, after building a decent couple decades on the street and track, for a fraction of Ford GT money, LETS JUST develop a big, over weight sedan chassis to replace it?, and TRASH the Vipers future?. (Handbuilt monster is what the Viper is.)
Mother Mopar has BEEN dead guys, we were just on BlownHemi life support…..
Ram/Jeep will be lucky to survive.
More like a gateway to a nap...boring!
the only things the french make thats worth anything is bicycles and white flags!
It looks like the flopping EV Mustang nobody ever wanted.
Go Ford.
Tk my friend pugeau is a sorry excuse of auto company I believe has a partial ownership by the French goverment
That's the Hornet?.......That is just lazy...Who cares?.
Could also be that nobody’s buying a car with interest rates what they are right now, and the cost of living being so high compared to salaries
Go Ford.
Go Ford.
