Doesn't look like a Hornet to me ???

New DC Hornet (looks like a jazzed PT Cruiser 111!!! )

Next month, the auto maker will display a Dodge-branded B-car concept designed to blend ‚ÄúEuropean sensibility‚Äù with ‚Äúan American flair.‚Äù

The Hornet, a 2-box design that seats five, features a wide stance set off by 19-in. open-section aluminum wheels, along with Dodge‚Äôs trademark crosshairs grille that is positioned above an exposed intercooler.

The driver‚Äôs side of its well-proportioned hood also features a recessed scoop that serves a 1.6L supercharged 4-cyl. gasoline engine, which generates 170 hp and 165 lb.-ft. (224 Nm) of torque at 4,000 rpm.

‚ÄúWe went for a rally-inspired look ‚Äì robust, capable and most definitely not ‚Äòcutesy,‚Äô‚Äù says Mark Moushegian, principle exterior designer. ‚ÄúWe wanted a distinct edge to the design.‚Äù

For increased functionality, Hornet‚Äôs interior surfaces were pushed to the vehicle‚Äôs perimeter.
