It looks like one of the scion Xb's except this one looks like it had a head on with an 18 wheeler...
Either that or a Golf Gti wanna be..that has some led's bolted on the front..
or
MAGNUMS AND DURANGOS COLLIDE INTO ONE BEAST

just doing some simple math assuming both cars made the same 163bhp that the miniS produces (same engine in the hornet) the mini will in essence have an extra 31bhp over the hornet...just based on it's weight differences.
So if both weighted the same the mini would have a 31hp advantage....since they dont weigh the same the mini will move like it has 31bhp extra...this will be close to the difference between a standard protege and a msp.

Your friendly neighborhood design student says it's a little discordant...some of the styling elements just don't go together. Were there interior shots or not? I didn't see/find any. That would have been nice.
I have no clue why cars--SMALL cars--weigh so dang much now. Where are they sticking the lead? The new safety equipment can't weigh that much. My 98 comes in at just below 2400 lbs, and a B segment car is smaller than it yet weighs 3100 lbs? If someone knows how this works, enlighten me because the only way my car is going to be that much is if I have 3 of my friends in the car with me (read also: hopelessly slow, haha).

Oh man, as soon as that picture loaded up I just started laughing. What the hell is up with Dodge lately? They designed the Caliber, now this?
Has anyone else noticed the trend of the big 3 (mostly just dodge and GM so far, but I'm sure Ford will follow) to make each and every single car in their line up look as close as possible to their flagship? Chevy tried to make everything look like the new vette, now Dodge is making all their compacts look like the Magnum/Charger.
