Any info. on how to get the hood open with the cable broke? No piece of cable to get a hold of with a pliers. Guessing I have to get under the car and trip it some how.

That sucks, I recently had to look up info on how to do this on a Hyundai and everything I read said to get it up on stands and find the cable routing and cut it don't there at some point to get at it with vice grips or pliers. Maybe you can get at the latching mechanism from beneath the car if the cable is broken where you cannot reach it.

been there, done that with the 90GP.... I wrapped some 10 guage solid copper wire around the hood release cable from between the condenser and the backside of the bumper to make a pullhandle.

I got a hold of a part of the cable, pulled it with pliers got it open. New cable is on the way.
