In a perfect world, we'd have the Dodge Hornet instead of the Dart.

Kinja'd!!!

The world doesn’t have nearly enough small, boxy, sort of MPV, sort of wagon, sort of hatchback, sort of CUV things. The only one I can think of still around is the Soul.

Kinja'd!!!

And, alongside it, the Razor.

The Hornet is Chevy Sonic meets Kia Soul

The problem for all hopefuls in that market segment is that the Soul exists and it’s cheap. It’s hard to compete with the whole package that the Soul offers and as a result I believe it’s about the best car for average people sold today.

Here’s the thing, though. Dodge could totally build both of these cars with existing FCA platforms. The Hornet would take the place of the Dart and could use an updated, but not necessarily new, platform. The Hornet would be much more functional than the Dart, and fulfills that small CUV niche Dodge currently lacks.

The Razor could easily use the Alfa 4C platform, which would give FCA another car to spread out the costs of that chasis. Using the Darts 4 cylinder engine and transmissions, and lower cost interior, it may be possible to get the costs down to the mid $20K range, which would be competitive with other small, sporty cars, which Dodge sorely lacks.

I have a feeling the Calibers terrible sales had a lot to do with that. However looking at the success that the Soul has been, I think this could have worked. Of coarse for it to beat the Soul it would need to be as reliable as a Kia, which sadly wouldn’t have been the case.

If only.

Then again it would have an interior that looked something like a Chrysler Sebring, so maybe it’s better it gets to live on in our dreams.

Soul is a decent people’s car. If my wife didn’t hate the looks so much me might have ended up with one.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_EV

“The car was based on the Lotus Europa S , and combined a lithium-ion   battery pack with a 200-kilowatt electric motor , capable of generating 268 bhp (200 kW) and 480 lbf·ft (650 N·m) of torque . [2]

It also does look a lot more like the Europa, but confusion with the Evora can be forgiven.

I forgot about the Europa to be honest and when I googled it that is definitely not what came up.
