Hey all, just wanted to say hello. Looking to find out all about the new Hornets.
Just ordered a Blue Steel GT Plus today. With the Harmon Kardon 14 speaker system, this is an awesome system in the Alfa's. Got the Track Pack & Tech Pack too

Welcome @RexS! Did you consider going with the Tonale at all or were you set on the Hornet?

 

[RexS]

I was actually waiting on the Tonale release, I really was wanting it. But, when I saw the release of the Hornet and the colors and options I was sold. It's still a Tonale at heart. Same interior, just some minor Dodge appearance changes. Plus, I love there will be the Direct Connection catalogue of parts that you will be able to have installed and maintain warranty. Looking at the lowering springs, tune, exhaust and GLH package.

Yeah the Hornet's offering is more compelling to me than the Tonale. I'm interested in the exhaust and tune as well. For the lowering springs I'd have to see what the Hornet looks like with them first before deciding.

Here are pics of the GLH that is lowered. Supposed to be just a little over 1 inch drop.
Shows the dual exhaust too but, probably have to either change the diffuser or cut holes.
I want the GLH Stripe package too.

The narrow red stripe is a really nice touch. It really pops in contrast to the black.

Was there an option to add a sunroof to the GT plus?

 

[RexS]

Not sure, that's one thing I forgot to ask about.
The info is still very limited

Welcome to the forum @Hornet Buzz! How did you spec your Hornet?

Good call. Patch kits are great and all but a spare gives me more peace of mind.

It's a cue ball white, GT-

I skipped the alcantara seat covers for the basic cloth/pleather.

No other options besides the spare tire...

Hello!

I'm waiting on the R/T's to be available for order but in the meantime I'd like to soak up as much info about this car as I can!

I currently own a Dodge Durango R/T and have been a fan of Dodge since they introduced the Dodge Charger SRT8.

Welcome to the forum @Tonka Swoont! Will you be keeping your Durango when you get your Hornet? Or will you sell/trade it in?

I will be trading in the Durango. I drive too much just to go to work and it is hitting the wallet hard when it comes to gas. I sometimes fill up 2x a week at $80 a pop. I’d like to not do that anymore lol.

Welcome, ordered mine on day 2 and still waiting to hear it's been scheduled. They are taking their time for sure.

Hey RexS, I check my tracker everyday sometimes twice. No movement and mine was not ordered until 9/20 because I wanted to wait for the more info on the sunroof etc. I found the factory production start dates and it said yesterday but who know how much that date has moved.
