it's been a decade since Dodge lost it's shirt betting on a new design, that 2012 Dart waste of time, so, finally they've decided to move on from the embarrasement, and yet, still use a 70's car name, the Hornet. But it's a hybrid

The Hornet is a subcompact SUV that shares a platform and other parts with the Alfa Romeo Tonale. It measures 178 inches long, up to 63.8 inches tall, and rides on a 103.8-inch wheelbase. It's also the first entirely new model that Dodge has introduced since the ill-fated Dart compact sedan, which only lasted from 2012 to 2016. The Hornet represents the company's first plug-in-hybrid model, too, but rather than focus on fuel efficiency, Dodge is boasting about the new hybrid's performance. CEO Tim Kuniskis even billed the Hornet as the "first electrified performance vehicle from Dodge."

The standard shared bits from the Alfa include a fully independent suspension, Koni dampers, and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. The PHEV comes standard with Brembo four-piston, fixed front calipers, which are also available on the base model. Likewise, every Hornet is available with the Track Pack, which includes 20-inch wheels, upgraded dampers, and unique styling bits.

The Hornet GT is the entry point. It features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that makes 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Dodge estimates the GT will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 140 mph.The Hornet GT is the entry point.

The Hornet R/T is the plug-in hybrid. It combines a turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four, six-speed automatic, and a 121-hp electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The total system output is 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features a "PowerStop" function that delivers an extra 25 horsepower and instant torque for 15-second bursts. While its top speed is limited to a lower 128 mph, it should be quicker than its nonhybrid counterpart. Dodge estimates the PHEV will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.

To retain some link to the good old days of turbo muscle, and aftermarket upgrades, Dodge says it will offer a GLH package that includes several performance upgrades for the Hornet.

 The "Goes Like Hell," dealer-installed upgrades will be sold through the Direct Connection parts program. The GLH add-ons include a suspension kit that lowers the SUV by more than an inch, an upgraded exhaust, 20-inch wheels, and numerous stripes and GLH logos.

I didn't see anything about a GLHS. 

a 1986 Shelby GLHS is getting restored... but hasn't been able to find a battery tray
