Buyers probably came in expecting a Journey redo (cheap vehicle, not much else lol), and that's not what Hornet was.

I think they'd have teased it by now.

I saw this yesterday.   Good to hear that there will be options across the board.

Same architecture

I'll be honest, pretty disappointing show. The only thing that can save it is if we get something spectacular for that motorsports event tomorrow, like a new supercar reveal or something. 

I'm sure it'll look better in higher quality pictures, but I agree I'm just in the middle about it.

I guess the Ford Foundation is ok with the Dearborn invasion. The foundation is helping the cause in Minnesota.    "The Sunrise Movement, which has shifted from climate activism into anti-ICE agitation in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Sunrise operatives on the ground in the Twin Cities are circulating lists of hotels housing ICE agents and coordinating late-night disruption campaigns—often involving noisemakers—aimed at coercing hotels and other local businesses into refusing to serve ICE personnel. Sunrise has received $2 million from Open Society since 2019, $150,000 from Ford in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, and $250,000 from MacArthur in 2024, according to grant databases and tax filings."  

I don't think the typical buyer would know they are basically the same car.   I was looking at the pricing and there was only about $4-5K difference between the two MSRP on their respective websites.    The Hornet GT started at $29K, when it should have started more at $26-27K

I have a feeling I've seen it and just thought it was RDX LOL
