Dodge CEO Matt McAlear says the nostalgic Hornet GLH Concept from two-and-a-half years ago will soon become a reality

The Hornet GLH will be a tribute/callback to the Dodge Omni GLH, designed by none other than Carroll Shelby during his Chrysler years. 

The Omni GLH offered about 146 hp from a 2.2-liter turbo-four in a vehicle that weighed less than 2,200 pounds. It was a rare ’80s surprise of accessible performance, which is precisely the legacy Dodge appears to want for its entry-level Hornet today. 

However, the prices for the Hornet GLH are comparatively twice what an Omni GLH cost back in the 90s, relatively, so, unlike the inspiration, these will be over priced and underperforming ... unless they have Hellcat engines.

the Hornet GT starts at 33k for 268 hp / 295 ft-lb from a turbo 2.0-liter inline-four. But not enough power for a roughly 3,700-pound SUV, (a 1968-69 musclecar had closer to 350-400Hp, and weighed 3500 lbs) and the Hornet R/T is between 43k and 49k for the range-topping R/T Plus model.
