The name should be retired with honor.  Although it looks interesting it surely not a Hudson!

    At least it isn't a EV, like the new "Scout" (VW owns International) is supposed to be... Odd how they kill Chargers and Challengers, and announce this...

    Yeah, not impressive. Are they now aiming for the rice-burner crowd?

    This is.... Interesting. I like the looks, but the fake sound? Dunno. Sounds like an electric chainsaw the old man had when I was a kid.

    Well at least we have that out of the way!  Maybe Jerry Springer and a DNA test?

    Is the emblem Hudson like? Or the AMC insect version?

    Another unimaginative jellybean.  The automotive world will collectively yawn and in a few years it will be forgotten.  Too bad so much is wasted on marketing instead of original styling and engineering.

    More like 'Hi Grandpa'!  LOL!  :smiley:
    Not the 'first' re-use of the Hornet name..  Go back about 52 years, there was another - the AMC Hornet (1970-1977) -
    I had a Hornet 'station wagon' shown, and changed it to the 'James Bond Edition', taken from 'The Man With The Golden Gun'.  To be honest, it was STILL quite a disappointing car to look at..

    'The Man With The Golden Gun'.=  brings back memories from 1974 when my now wife & I were extras in that movie whilst in Bangkok

    I thought the Hudson Hornet stole it's name from the famous Wolseley Hornet special 2 door convertible from the 1930/36. We had the 1934 Wolseley Hornet 4 door when I was a kid. Great car...mainly used by the British police. ..But I'm biased as an Australian/English citizen hehe

    Dennis Collins has a You Tube “Coffee Walk” COPO  racing video that contains a Factory prepared AMC Super Stock 360 HORNET race car.  Low miles and in a private collection that is raced on Michigan area NHRA tracks.  Very cool vehicle...one I do not think most AMC race guys know about...

    I just went though the rambler ranch in  Elizabeth Colorado the other day best connections of AMC Nash and Hudson cars I have ever seen, definitely worth the trip no matter where you are there are quite a number of various models as well including the Hornets

    I have been to the Rambler Ranch a few times. The HET Club went there when The National Meet was in Colorado Springs.
