<div class="bbWrapper">So there was the Hudson Hornet then the AMC Hornet and now the Dodge Hornet. Ok to recycle names I guess. After all here we have the Renault/Dacia Duster recycling the 70s Plymouth name. Of course in the 70s the name meant it would "dust off" the competition. Renault/Dacia's chouce choice name makes no sense but both versions were developed in non English speaking countries (France and Romania) and mostly sold in such countries so who cares I guess. Auto name choices can be pretty funny and problematic. There's the story about when Chevrolet tried to sell the Chevy Nova in Mexico. "No va" in Spanish means "doesn't go". There is a Chinese pickup on sale here in Colombia that is a carbon copy of an early 90s Toyota Hilux. It's name is Wingle. Can you imagine a US driver proadly saying "I drive a Wingle". Back to the Dodge it sure looks like a copy of the CX 5 hence naming it as the competition. Other than the horsepower...and maybe the Brembo brakes (so how long do those pads last?) I wouldn't be tempted away from the Mazda.</div>
