Found this in Europe
Was walking around in France and randomly encountered a Hornet's twin They do look good but I do like the two vents on the hood

Yes. Which is the same vehicle as the dodge hornet. What are you confused about?

u/CMOS_BATTERY 3d ago
How? While the Hornet is based off of the car shown they aren’t the same past basic appearances

I'm not sure how you're confused bud. They are built on the exact same FCA Small Wide 4x4 LWB platform. They are essentially the same vehicle mechanically.

Honestly don’t know why I’m arguing, both are shit boxes

I agree they are shit. But only because they don't put a hemi in them.

I think they are being built by Alfa Romeo which would explain the European size engine in the Hornet

They are being built by stellantis. You will see the same engines across all their car portfolios

The Hornet is literally a rebadge of this car which means they are the exact same car

Not owned by the same parent company and based off it by looks which still are a bit different.

Alfa Romeo is owned by Fiat, aka FCA or Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. They are both owned by Stellantis, so yes the same parent company

Yeah the badges and vents shape are different that's it, rest is the same, inside the hood it's the same, inside the car it's the same

If you take the luggage cover off from the Hornet's trunk space and look at the branding it's an Alfa-Romeo part. There are many instances like this. Because yeah, they are 98% the same car, built in Turin, running the same engine as the Fiat 500X. It's an Alfa in Dodge clothes. That's part of the appeal.

They only changed the vents to make you recognise the brand, Tonale can straight tell it's Alfa Romeo and Hornet kinda looks like a Charger, apart from it everything else is the same, they have to make you recognise the brand

There have been rebadged Alfas being turned into Dodges for over a decade…because they’ve had the same parent company for over a decade. The Dart was like this in 2012.
