Dodge compact to be well trimmed

The reliable source oh2o wrote that the new Dodge compact, will be surprisingly well equipped, with SE (base) getting 16 inch wheels, and SXT and Limited going to 17” wheels; there will be a Rallye option for the SXT. All trim lines will get lots of airbags including knee bags (possibly for passengers as well), LED tail lamps, and optional Blind Spot/Cross Path detection and trailer sway damping; HIDs will be optional as well. Well appointed interiors will have cloth and denim seats, with leather on upper models, and tilt/telescope steering column even on SE; Limited will get a heated steering wheel.

The car has often been referred to by the media as the Dodge Hornet, but Dodge’s CEO recently said it would not have that name. The most likely options, despite an odd trademark filing for a “Camber,” are Dodge Caliber, Dodge Duster, and even Dodge Dart.
