Next up is Dodge’s C-segment 4 door sedan, taking over from the Caliber, and filling the gap vacated by the Neon, this has to hit hard against Civic, Corolla, Cruze, Golf, etc. Derived from the C-EVO platform, along with the Fiat Bravo, Alfa Milano, and others, the Hornet, regardless of name, will be built at Belvidere, and will debut in Detroit in January 2012 (possibly in New York in April 2012). Mopar once had a huge share of this segment but mis-steps even before DBAG slashed their sales and credibility to the point where most people have forgotten

Dodge’s entry level model is a B-segment hatch smaller than Civic Si or VW GTI, but with enough attitude to hit against those models.  This model will most likely be a rework of Fiat’s Grande Punto Abarth or the Alfa MiTo. (Editor’s note: This model would be a reskinned and possibly somewhat retuned Fiat design quite possibly made in Europe It may have been dropped as being too close to 500.)

The 2011 Dodge Avenger

Concluding a 60-day assessment of the 2011 Dodge Avenger, autoMedia.com is providing consumers highlights of the results in an online video segment. Dodge did a substantial rework of its midsize 2011 Avenger sedan. Its reengineered suspension has moved the Avenger upmarket—giving it a more sophisticated feel.

The test vehicle, an Avenger Heat, with a standard Pentastar V6 engine and six-speed autostick automatic transmission, demonstrated its power delivery is progressive and enthusiastic but surprisingly remains very competitive in fuel economy.

Now one of the quieter cars in its class, the Avenger’s transformation to 2011 has been remarkable. Dodge addressed key weaknesses in convincing fashion to turn it into a competitive midsize sedan that should easily appeal to a broader range of customers.

Sam Hubinette, autoMedia’s Technical Editor, noted “The Avenger also has a considerable roster of safety features, plus the bragging rights of being named a 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick.”

Consumers can see the online video segment detailing the results from the road test review of the new 2011 Avenger at autoMedia.com.
