Man, I think you guys are a tough crowd

They are under CAFE restraints and trying to still build exciting cars. Obviously, tastes vary but at least these don't appear extremely odd or polarizing. Personally, I don't particularly care about the names, just the car itself. Stellantis isn't emotional, they are a company in a competitive market trying to stay above water. Rising costs, competition, more regulation and other factors drive their production. I also see nothing wrong with the Hornet. They MUST be in other markets that most of us don't care about in order to survive. Look at Camry and Accord. Boringggg, but huge cash cows for their manufacturers.
