The new Fiat/Chrysler car

It sounds like it's gonna be called Dodge Hornet. It will be based on Alfa Romeo Giulietta and powered by 1.4L (168 hp) and 1.8L (232 hp) engines. It will be available as sedan and hatchback.

Since it's a compact, Focus will be the main competitor.

It looks nice, although it's nowhere as good looking as the car Hornet is based on, Alfa Romeo Giulietta (it looks even better in person).

Alfa version is gorgeous. Tail lights look lifted from a G37 coupe and turned upside down though.

If Dodge turns into an American Alfa - they will have beautiful cars that everyone likes, but they will be visiting mechanics very often.

Not surea bout those headlights, but if they are going for the Hornet look, I guess it looks good.

They're pretty rare here in Serbia (due to Alfa's poor reliability), but I saw one in person few weeks ago in Croatia ... beautiful.
