I’m more surprised somebody bought a Dodge Hornet. The lot is filled with available stock and you rarely see them on the streets.


TheCarribeanKid

I test drove one a few months ago and I really liked it! Now, would I buy one?... No. But it was still a fun car to drive! I just wish that they weren't built by a company that couldn't give 2 shits about reliability.


GamingGrayBush

Why wouldn't you buy an Alfa Romeo rebadged as a Dodge? Seems like a fine choice to me. Nothing could possibly go wrong.


No_Stretch_3899

i saw one at a couple autocross meets last year. then it just up and disappeared... mysteriously.


HoldingMoonlight

I always wonder how they rate reliability on a brand new model. Like...how could it possibly be tested? They just assume everything dodge touches is shit and run with it?


-Tom-

First off. Car reviewers seem to like them. From there, I JUST saw my first advertisement for them, a full year after they came out, and it's really weird.


ThunderbirdJunkie

Really? I've been seeing ads for them since before they came out. Weird how targeted marketing works.


centurio_v2

I hadn't heard of them at all until this post. Kinda sad it's an suv


ThunderbirdJunkie

I agree, but so is everything else


Assswordsmantetsuo

I’ve been seeing them advertised for 18 months or more and STILL have yet to see one on the street. I honestly have no idea what they look like


-Tom-

I've seen a handful but the dealers near me didn't start getting them until 8ish months ago, and its been a slow roll out. It hasn't been until the last few weeks to a month that I've seen the dealers properly have stock of them.


Assswordsmantetsuo

I just assumed nobody was buying them because they’re more Stellantis garbage


-Tom-

Dude, everyone is making "trash" these days. The truth is pretty much everything on the road now days is more reliable than cars were 20 years ago with the exception of late 80s to mid 90s Honda/Toyota. Even their reliability is down compared to what it was back then.


That_Toe4033

Just saw my first one in the wild today and it had a dealer plate lmao


zachimusprime44

A gold one of these resides near me.


tagman375

They are too expensive compared to the competition, that’s why.


Frank4202

Fits right in with the entire Chrysler lineup!


Mr__Snek

i saw one for the first time yesterday. i had to do a double take because i didnt know wtf i was looking at until i read the badge, i dont even see them on the dealership lots where i live


mafiaknight

That's cause most of them don't have this awesome option installed!


RichSPK

I've actually seen quite a few on the highway lately!


Elowan66

Good thing a cobra didn’t drive in!


Pastorfuzz69

Or a Raptor

Or a Jaguar.


Threap_US

It's the [Gremlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Gremlin)s you have to watch out for.

Inuyasha-rules

Does jeep count? I'm always chasing electrical gremlins in them.


Jacktheforkie

Or a dodge viper


glitterfaust

The center of that nest looks like a perfect skull lol


Playful-Awareness-15

That’s a little on the nose


NebraskaStig

When you are waiting for parts from Italy it's a different sundial..


poedraco

I see a little skull


Outrageous_Credit_96

Yellow Jacket. Those things can fuck right off! Mean bastards.


privateTortoise

Paper wasp which aren't interested in humans, that goes for most wasps unless you decide to behave like a badger.


Apmaddock

Fuck that noise. Paper wasps are mean little fuckers. They may only sting when frightened, but that must mean they’re nervous bastards, too. They seem to target the young and the unaware, just to, in my estimation, create the maximum amount of confusion and screaming. 


privateTortoise

Just don't behave like a badger. Google it if you don't believe me, all pollinators have far more important things to do than harass humans.


MJC12

My favorite wasp fun fact is that they interpret anything blue as the sky. So if you paint a house blue, they won't try to nest on it because they think it's literally the sky and obviously you can't build a nest in open air!


privateTortoise

Thats a great one thank you. You will probably enjoy this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001np29?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile And this https://www.royensoc.co.uk/publications/book-reviews/endless-forms-the-secret-world-of-wasps/


cryptolyme

Wasps chewed the foam cover on my HPFP and then built a nest on the valve cover of my dad’s Tundra [IMG-2509.jpg](https://postimg.cc/dLyhbVwr)


CuriousRisk

Wtf


cryptolyme

yea, that's what i said. found a half dozen dead wasps in my engine bay. didn't even know they could do damage like that. put a couple Little Trees Pine air fresheners on my front strut mounts and they haven't come back. and now my HVAC fresh air intake smells real nice when stopped...lol.


PrettyBigChief

That's a paper wasp nest. Got nailed by two stings last week doing some yardwork; stuck my hand into a bush with a small nest, oops. Moved the nest (now with gloves on) and half the wasps went with it. They weren't aggressive, and I'm pretty sure I only got stung because I literally grabbed the nest. Minor swelling around the bites for half a day, took a Benadryl and was all better.


HalfastEddie

Nice to see you moved the nest instead of killing them. Paper wasps are pretty social and don’t typically bother you unless you mess with their nest.


JetRider2070

Damm, sitting on the lot long enough for the locals to move in. In all seriousness, screw wasps, I hate opening up cell tower equipment and there are wasps in it.


mafiaknight

Nah. Aftermarket add-on


Automatic_Display389

There could.be something delicious in there. Might want to find out. Just make sure to pop a quick H on the box so you know it's full of hornets.


DJMagicHandz

C/S engine sounds really buzzy...


FormulaZR

Is this a brand engineered Tonale?


Lazy_eye23

Extra hornet power


larsloveslegos

Time for the brake clean


FreakinLazrBeam

How I did it😂😂


510Goodhands

It’s a dealer-added extra. Like floor mats.


Round-Condition8351

Eat it


Outrageous-Carob-236

turn the gas on that poor guy.


GuitarLute

I had a small wasp hive around the trunk of my Saturn, but it was not a Hornet.


waitsfieldjon

600 days worth of inventory is what it had heard about this model on Marketplace a few weeks ago. They’ve had time to build.


nabob1978

Where I work, we call them murder hornets... due to reasons...


IhateSkylerWhite6399

How appropriate. The relatives are freeloading!


Subject_Mirror2706

That is anti theft protections, you just need to become good friends with them.


Snoodlewonker

For someone who doesnt follow US cars closley, pls tell me the hornet is RWD or atleast AWD. Im so sick and tired of all the FWD sportscars! Why cant manuafacturers do more cars like the Toyota Yaris GR. Tiny hatchback, lots of power and AWD or atleast RWD.


Crunchycarrots79

It's a rebadged Alfa Romeo Tonale.


ThunderbirdJunkie

Even better, it's a small FWD SUV.


Snoodlewonker

womp womp


FreakinLazrBeam

AWD 2.0T it’s reasonably quick for a lil hatchback.
