Good luck Dodge you stopped making the only 2 things you actually sold. The future is as bright as Pontiac for you.

Ah Joe, I felt the disappointment that you experienced on the first on throttle. Love your reviews and your ability to keep a straight face when utterly disappointed.

We now have to be rich to own a Dodge🤣😂

Way overpriced!

I figured it wouldn't sell great but it's now the slowest selling vehicle in America. Just like the Dart there's going to be some unbelievable deals to be had with these.

I still havent seen 1 on the road yet

I had to stop watching once I heard the price. 48,000 and no sunroof. Stellantis you’re destroying Dodge. Great job as always Joe and Stephen..

this car is better than walking and that's about it

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.

Quality might be a concern, yes?

If you ever even suggest that a Dodge can be better then a Lexus again 👊🏾 😂

I wonder what % off MSRP Dodge is giving on these. 30%?

Still waiting on the dodge durango refresh

As always Joe, great review. All of your vehicle reviews are very detailed and informative. This one must have been difficult for you doing a review on a “Dodge R/T “ that looks and sounds like that.

50k msrp this year, worth 25k and nobody will buy it from ya next year. hard pass on this one.

$48K is LAUGHABLE 🤣

Thank you for mentioning the euro cars and the work they put in , i used to be a mopar boy with a 5.7 , drove bmw / mercedes & never looked back

YOU ALWAYS MAKE GOOD COMPARISONS, I THINK YOU SHOULD FOR NOW ON HAVE THE 2 CARS YOUR COMPARING TOGETHER IN 1 VIDEO

Raiti I noticed that you don't mention or go over any illuminated buttons for the power window and lock buttons. To me that's a big deal breaker if at night I cannot see those functions.

I do like the fake vents on the corner & I feel like it gives it style as to a plain & boring white corners on the bumper.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

To know if Dodge is better than a Lexus is like asking if trash smells better than a name brand cologne! 😂

When he said “you’re balls” had me dying!🤣 love this guy!!

This small SUV is way overpriced! People are scared of Fiat because they have a bad reputation for reliability. For 10k less it might be interesting.

I enjoyed this review. Looks like a very fun vehicle to drive

Say joe how many hrs u gotta charge it

Either a deeper, louder exhaust or add a burble tune.

Better than a lexus??? Really??c'mon joe! How much did stellantis pay you to put this out??😂😅

Raiti's Rides ,Joe Friend you and your wife keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪

Hi Joe, you always zonk the fake air vents but could an air vent affect the aerodynamics negatively? Maybe it causes too much drag and instead of putting nothing there, they just put a fake one for looks. Just saying! Thanks for the review.

At first I thought it was a Buick Envista.

Great review as always! It’s a beautiful car , it has performances d it is too expensive!❤️❤️👋👋👋👋

I saw 2 of them in Houston like 4months ago and I haven’t seen a single one since.

So glad I purchased a 2022 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320. RIP Dodge😢...

That hornet is looking nice! I'm looking to upgrade from my CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus, but I don't think it would be an upgrade :(... I'll keep searching! Also, great vid, as always!

Joe's expression when he floored it.

I just leased one with MSRP of $46.600 for 350.00 per month with nothing down for 24 months. They giving them away...

For a Plug in hybrid… it’s a good deal. Looking at one this week. Hopefully the dual mode suspension works good enough to provide a smooth gentle ride. And a firm

I actually never saw one in person till the other day, and I have no clue how. They are really cool though.

Umm. No. 😅. Compare this to a ford edge maybe.

7:45 Actually since i own a 2021 charger RT, i was fairly certain i pushed around 400lb torque. Searched it up and it came out to 395lb torque.

Agree on that rear spoiler and get that wiper out of there ! No sunroof is a huge zonk. Surprised by this, but needs to 10k less. Thanks again Joe 🤙🏼

He didn't use the powershot. That gives you an extra 30 hp. You activate it while by pulling both shift paddles towards you at the same time, then it gives you 15 seconds of more power.

Torque Monster! 👍😎

12:36 well goddamn, Joe! 😂😭💀

cant say i really like anything about that vehicle.

some lowering springs would do

It does got power lift gate and pano run roof and cooled front seats!! It got all those feature it just had to the Rt plus!!

50k for some guaranteed breakdown lemon of a car!

50K without glass rooftop?

Yes of course Joe & this would be my choice.

The unexpected package reveal at 6:41 🤩

I drove one of these in its Alfa Romeo configuration. At least Dodge was smart enough to use the Alfa paddles :o) Great review men!

Joe's expression after revealing the price... lol

When Ratti went on throttle, I couldn’t do nothing but cry laughing. It was a long disappointing pause. He was like a child opening up a gift that he didn’t want on Christmas. 😂

They dropped the ball they should of made a scatpack hornet with an aggressive exhaust note and aggressive styling

The worst built cars currently are these Chrysler Fiat things. When he went on throttle he tried to hide the disappointment but it was obvious

Nice suv

This has a 6 speed? I thought it has a 9 speed according to the website

Stellantis has some nice European models like Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel. Why didn't they Neon-ize the Citroen C3-Aircross or the Peugeot 2008. I drove both of these cars when in France last year and they are impressive.

I like the fake vent. Nice design. Not plain looking like how you like

this Dodge doesn't seem to be getting any sales traction. Even with $6,000 discounts, these are just not moving off the local dodge lots..

Very storm trooper.

I think I’ve seen two of these on the road in the last two years.

I got $8K in instant EV rebates, so that really helped. I understand muscle fans hate the direction Dodge is going, but we really like compact SUVs for our lifestyle, and I wanted the fastest one out there. It's fun to drive.

48000 think about that price for a battery

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.

It's nice. I don't know who will be lining up for this, but I'm sure they'll sell some of them. It had very sleek styling and the HP is there on paper. 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 🇺🇸HORNET RT 🇺🇸.

Nice car, but the price at $48k is a bit much for a vehicle without a sunroof. .

I still haven’t seen any on the road!?

This one SUV might just may have the most zonks in it's class.

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.

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. Price it a 45k CAD and I'll sell a dozen a month, for now it's just taking space in my inventory.

Looks like a Dodge dart to me 🎯

First on my ‘National Car rental’ list. 😊

People going back to gas powered.

Dodge this car if you can 😂

At least we got 4wd☝️🤓

Nice looking. Good power. With dealer discount it could be compelling!

$48K? Excuse me? That’s disrespectful. Is illegal price gauging not a thing anymore?!

To all the people saying its "expensive/overpriced" its an Alfa Romeo just with some Dodge badging. Just go look up some interior pics of it and the body of it compared to this. They arent cheap dodge parts so they have to up the price.

I have a buddy that spent a ton of money on a Dart. So many issues with the car, motor blew in like the fourth year after warranty just went out, still owed like 15k on it. This looks no different 😂

Nope get a rav4 prime instead it’s more reliable and has more features

I went with the alpha Romeo Stelvio. I got a 2022 with only 900 miles for 34K

1.3 L I-4 doesn’t scream muscle car to me. $48k? No freakin’ way. They’ll be off loading them for less than 40 at the end of the year

$48,000 ??? I rather Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4 . They are better value , more reliable , better resale value .....

48k? Really? My moms 2016 cx5 was mid 20's, a hybrid crv is in the low to mid 30's.....why the hell is this 48k?

I like them but I wish Dodge had an SUV that slots between this and the Durango. This is too small for families but not all families need a three-row.

48k?!?

I’ll take the Lexus

Looks good but it’s no Lexus 🙂

7:52 5.7’s had 395lbs of tq bud

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

Wow. I have A Lexus NX 450H and this isn’t even close. And it’s a Dodge so you know the quality is sub par. I would still have my 2016 NX didn’t get T boned. Had zero issues with it in 7 years. Just scheduled maintenance. Dodge…that would never happen.

Sunroof and not having a more aggressive back end with extended top spoiler in my opinion killed sales of the hornet .. price needed to be 4-5k less .. price is definitely in par with lexus nx lol

2024 Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV eAWD Blacktop!

Did you say $48k?! 😂😂😂

This car should sell for around $29-32,000. Then they would sell a lot

Wow those are some oversized paddle shifters 😂😂😂

for a suv the existing headroom sucks, so with a sunroof only short people could fit in it
