http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/29/c...l-car-is-born/

The Dodge Hornet Concept is a Bsegment car of the MiniCooper size that had aconcept debut this past year




apparently it might be the first car built by Chinese company Chery for Chrysler as their small "world car"

If you cant stop them from ripping your idea's off, just kinda sorta have them build cars for you instead?!

Zoom wasnt Chevy suing Chery for multiple copy right infringments? Curious as to how they feel about all this now.

I'd rock a car like that. Cheap version of the minicooper? As long as it doesn't have that horrible center-mounted gauge cluster. Tach front-and-center, people!!!

It will take ten years or longer after they start production to make a good car.
