265hp? Fucking lame.

VW Golf R 4 cylinder 315hp (same as GTI but bigger turbo)
Honda Type R 4 cylinder 306hp for the old. New one's specs haven't been released but likely more than 306.
Focus RS 350hp a 2.3L but still a 4 banger.

Even the SRT4 stage 2 kit was rated 265 or 275hp. What the fuck Dodge?!

If they dredged up the old Omni GLH turbo design & started building them again, I'd buy that before this new fugly POS !

In my experience people driving these tiny suvs are usually grandmas... What is their target audience again? The people that bought a Kia soul after seeing hamsters drove one?

They'll sell some R/Ts because of phev rebates, but I don't see these selling well.

I guess their marketing plan is based on European standards?

hey.....I'm good with wearing a skirt and strutting my stuff.......but there is no way I would ever be caught driving that thing.

I do have some standards.

You always look good in your skirts too:cool:

They will sell a boat load of them.
A cheap Dodge.
Car actually has a little performance behind it. That 360lbs-ft torque will really make people think that car is fast. And for the most part, it is in normal 30-45 mph driving situations.

My grandma wife looked at it and laughed. Said what kind of pos is that?
Then again she loves her Scat Pack.

Your grandma wife is the exception. Sadly.
People don't give a shit about cars. Why do you see so many damn Camrys, Corollas, Accords, Rav 4s etc on the road?

My sister has a GTI. She had to have some service done on it and they gave her a Tiguan as a loaner. Talk about a lifeless piece of garbage that was. But the dealer had at least 40 on the lot (pre covid).

It took many years of training to get her here.

Final thought/comment on the GLH wanna-be ...............

Thinking back, what really made my GLH a blast to drive was the 5 speed trans that took all the abuse I dished out and never made a peep.
Doubt it would have been anywhere near as much fun with an auto trans.

Pity the green new screw overlords have ruined the fun for future generations :cry:
