So since it is now March, I went into to talk to my dealer yesterday to see if they had any delivery info yet. Of course they didn't know diddly. How can a company like Dodge keep their dealers/customers in the blind for so long like this? I know I have waited this long but, honestly I am starting to question why. I just want my car.

My dealer was supposed to have a GT in Feb, so far no. It's taking a little while, which is frustrating, I agree. Not to mention the pricing was a little eye opening.

Did any of you receive a VON? If so, how long after ordering?

 

[RexS]

Got my VON within a week of ordering. VIN came about 4 months later.

They are offering rebates and incentives on a vehicle that's not ava. Just crazy!!!

 

[RexS]

In the disclosure for the $500 cas back, it states must be used by 4/03/23. I hope that's a sign they will be here soon.

 

[npaladin2000]

I wonder if they priced this planning on the US's PHEV/BEV credits were going to be unchanged from what they were before. As opposed to now where they're a total mess that barely applies to anyone anymore.

Or an almost worthless because the number of vehicles likely to be delivered is very low.

Thsi is actually great news means we may get our cars soon

 

[jc1003]

They can keep extending rebates and incentives but still no vehicles.

Yup. Ridiculous. Best way to kill off a project, organization, etc is to just let it go silent. Deliveries have taken too long and soon the other 250+ new offerings will be hitting the market and people will wander over there. C'mon Alfa Dodge.

 

[Chipshot]

250?!

 

[jarxd]

If you search the dodge hornet online, there are parts available as of March 15th to order at dealerships. I bet they will be delivered by then

 

[DogsRule]

250?!

Yeah. 250. Last year a major car mag used that number from 2022my thru the 2027my. Probably includes all manufacturers and all trim levels. Point being the Hornet phev has the best power numbers for now but I'm not OCD on this model, In 2-3 years the Hornet platform will be changed over to a new one and there'll be 249 others to choose from.
So yeah, 250. Bring 'em on!

Edit: And respect to the OP, it IS taking too long. And with all the new models coming out, they aren't building 250+ new factory lines. So they'll start with more and more time-share of building one model this week, it's sister model another week, on existing factories. Each will be working 3 shifts, but working one model for a week, then a week on a cousin model. So I expect the wait times to increase for a made-to-order car.

Discuss.

 

[Chipshot]

I doubt the Pomigliano plant builds as you describe, and three shifts is probably a stretch. Hornets and Tonales (the plant also builds the Fiat Panda) are probably sequenced on the line. I ordered a Hornet GT this week. Let's see how long it takes to arrive. We're leasing, so when a new model comes along we'll transition to it.

Alfa Romeo Tonale production increased to meet expected U.S. demand

The Tonale crossover is being built in Pomigliano, Italy, alongside the closely related Dodge Hornet.
