2023 DODGE HORNET

The Dodge Hornet R/T has a PowerShot mode that delivers an extra 30 horsepower for 15 seconds. It has functional hood scoops and Koni dampers.

The premise of the first TV spot for the Hornet is that the vehicle's arrival is an apocalyptic event. This is what happens when the company that builds 700-plus-hp Hellcats tasks itself with building a vehicle to compete against, you know, the Honda CR-V. "What else did Dodge do," you ask, "name one of the paint colors after a strain of weed?" Yes: Acapulco Gold. If Dodge hasn't yet licensed Beavis and Butt-Head as spokesmen, we don't know what the marketing team is waiting for.

Sure, it’s practical. But if that’s what you’re after, go hug your dishwasher. This redo feels half-hearted when what the Forester really wanted was a whole new hear
