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

New DC Hornet (looks like a jazzed PT Cruiser )

Next month, the auto maker will display a Dodge-branded B-car concept designed to blend “European sensibility” with “an American flair.”

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’s trademark crosshairs grille that is positioned above an exposed intercooler.

The driver’s 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.

“We went for a rally-inspired look – robust, capable and most definitely not ‘cutesy,’” says Mark Moushegian, principle exterior designer. “We wanted a distinct edge to the design.”

For increased functionality, Hornet’s interior surfaces were pushed to the vehicle’s perimeter.
