While the company is keeping most of its cards close to its chest, Reid Biglund, head of the Dodge brand told the Detroit News we'll find out more in the coming weeks including the car's name which he says won't be Hornet as some media outlets suggested. "Hornet will not be the name," said Biglund.
The Dodge boss said he was very excited about the new sedan model that will rival the likes of the Honda Civic, VW Jetta, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra.
"I've never been more excited about a new car than I am about the new compact. It fills a significant hole in the product portfolio," said Biglund. "So this compact vehicle is going to allow us to compete in 100 percent of the market."
According to sources, the new Dodge sedan will share the same basic floorplan as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback.

Dodge always has the very best design that it can offer, the problem is it does not have a great small engine. anything engine size from 2.5 lt and below from Dodge is considered trash.

really enjoyed reading this post. I congratulate you for the terrific job you’ve made. Great stuff, just simply amazing!
It has got the perfect trendy look. I lie the way its engine is designed. They need to market the product to survive. Because many other automotive firms are leading the industry with their new models. Its better to introduce some new models as the trend for small cars is growing now a days.

Congratulations, you've created an uglier Scion.
Not that I like dodge, but you do realize that the pictures are of a 6 year-old concept, right?
Congratulations Poontang, you're dissing a 5 year-old concept. Look around the internetzzzzzzz and you'll discover that the new Giulietta based 'Hornet' looks nothing like this.
So do you consider the 2.0 - 2.4 liter engine from Hyundai/Kia and Mitsubishi trash? how about the turbo 4 cylinder from the 2005 and up Mitsubishi Lancer Evo? They are from the same design! Know your facts before you spew your BS.
You do realize that he pictures are of a 2006 concept? this is definitely not how the new car will look like.
If it looks like this

I would buy it. The big D has been serioulsy lacking in the small car segment since the unexplained axing of the neon. If they can create something as good, they'll have a winner and a very loyal customer base that has been waiting since 2005.
MISSED IT COMPLETELY.........WOW DO I LOOK DUMB
I FEEL STUPID. Did not read carefully. If it is the Giulietta, and nobody fools around with one of the world's most beautiful car designs, they will have a winner. Then they can phase out the dogs like the 300.
You ARE stupid! I told you that already!
Yes, I know. You ARE dumb too!
