The design is growing on me.
I feel the need of the misleading whining of some on this site about pricing.
Some facts:
GMC Terrain Average Transaction Price(ATP): $36,852
Toyota RAV4 ATP: $35,718
Chevy Equinox ATP: $32,171
Ford Bronco Sport ATP :$36,680

It feels much smaller than those vehicles, so it's more of a hot hatch.

A Golf R or Civic Type R are $50k, so those are more the competition-ish to me
Hornet GT is $40k
Hornet GT Plus is $46k

Does anyone know if the 9 speed transaxle in the Hornet is based on the ZF design in the mini-van?
