I was really getting close to pulling the trigger but, with these engine problems I'm applying the brakes.

Wait ’till they start reporting sunroof leaks on Demons… the bottom will fall out of the market. :)

I'm actually surprised that Stellantis hasn't created their own secret AI influencer on youtube who is doing exactly that: modding a hornet to try to create some market for the car.
It would have to be better than this reality. If you had any doubt that foreign ownership has no clue what Americans want just watch this commercial. Can you imagine being Tim and having to go along with something like this. OMG!

I was thinking about the whole warranty thing. All them cars sitting somewhere without use and that warranty is ticking away...

Well, I looked it up and 383 ft/lbs isn't too shabby for a car in this segment. I'd have to go check competitors to see how they looked. Curb weight is pretty hefty at about 4200lbs though.

The problem is they're targeting the wrong demographic. We take this performance adverts as an insult to our intelligence. They should instead target the Honda Pilot, Toyota Rav 4, etc shoppers.

I think the biggest problem will be the price. The RT appears to be about $50K. The Rav4 is $10-15K less.

I think they stopped putting VINs on engine blocks for a while, and started doing it again, at least for Hellcat etc.
We put the vin number on the 6.4 in the Wrangler 392s

That will be a huge hurdle that they won’t overcome. People in this segment aren’t looking for performance they are looking for reliable A-B vehicles that are budget friendly which the Hornet is none of.

Talking about all the sold demons. My understanding is when it leaves the dealership the warranty starts...

The Toyota Rav4 and the Honda CRV are superior vehicles over the Hornet in every way, especially price. The Hornet will never sell like those two do. EVER.

Not to mention it's butt ugly.

Saw my first one today. It looked silly.
Yeah, but it has a great, weight saving plastic hood latch, so there's that .................

I watched a review on it. The ending remarks were, "what is the purpose of this car"? If fits nowhere.
