- Today we are taking a look at everything we know abut the modern-era Dodge Barracuda! Since the release of the Challenger concept in 2006, there have been rumors and speculation about the 'Cuda returning as well. This video includes a timeline of various rumors and hints we’ve seen from the Mopar world about a possible Barracuda return, including concepts and interviews. We’ll end off by discussing what a modern day Barracuda would look like and if it would make any sense, based on all the information out there. Throughout the video you’ll see some pictures of the originals, a concept, as well as many artist and fan renditions of the vehicle.

Thumbnail Cuda rendition was done by @chopping_pixels on Instagram make sure to check out his awesome page!
I think that it could also come as a trim/model of an electric or hybrid challenger or one that is more comfort focused. but I love the idea of lighter and more agile challenger and maybe no backseats?
There is no Cuda coming back.SUV's and trucks make up 70% of New vehicle sakes.2dr coupes make up only 2.6% of sales.Any new Chrysler product will be a truck,crossover or SUV.Anything else is wishful thinking.Let's be thankful we still have the Challenger.
@@garyferen6492 i totally agree, but one can hope? and companies do like electric and/or halo vehicles so there is hope
Marspeed don’t forget about the turbo L6 rumors.
Marspeed If they are not bringing the Viper back they should replace it with the barracuda and keep it a two seater only, like an American version of the Ferrari 812 superfast, they already talked about putting a V8 inside the Viper if they decide to bring it back, but why not just replace it with the barracuda(if they are going to do that), The Viber is known for its v10 so why make it a v8.
I don't like how a lot of the concepts just looked like a boxy Camaro
Yeah I noticed that too. I’m guessing a lot of the fan art took a Camaro as a base for their design
Marspeed the 2020 dodge barracuda SRT look like a camaro
So is the challenger

As much as I would like a return of the Cuda l did not see any of the fan/artists renditions that look good and if that were the only options for a return I would not want them to ruin my favorite muscle car of all time.
Imagine, you're driving you hell car in a tunnel. Then, you hear it. A white knuckle Barracuda passes in a flash. I really hope it will be reborn.
Yes me to. it basically made the Dodge Challenger what it is today
Its a legend that made the muscle car era the thing we love the most
Another outstanding, well researched, organized, thorough and entertaining video! Thanks for all the work you put into every video ! You ROCK!!
a bullshit video if you think they are really going to make a barracuda when they are trying ti kill off the Dodge brand...LOL
I Agree😉👍
@Cristopher Reeves never gonna happen
God whoever draw that concept must say what a beauty, if I was Chrysler boss I would hire that artist who draw the purple one and put hellcat in it with carbonfiber body.
7:58 this what a 2020 'cuda should look like
Hands down!!
I'd even be ok with the snapshot right before it
That looks so mean, would love to have one, come on Chrysler make that happen
Give it a fastback roofline and I'd agree.
Yep that's it but it has to have a "SHAKER" hood!
@marspeed thank you for featuring my "hellacuda" render. Much appreciated.
It would be awesome! That was my favorite Mopar back in the good ole days!
That one off Cuda looks so good. If that was release, I would have made that my first car ever.
I think you hit the nail on the head. There isn't a compelling reason to bring back the cuda. At best, I could be a package in the challenger line. At worst, it canabalizes sales.
Just like with Ford some people wanted the Cougar back but based on the Mustang again. I think the Cougar would be a nice package on the Mustang.
@91myroc I agree 100% brother, just like GM needs to bring back the legendary Trans-AM based off the Camaro and the legendary GTO as a muscle sedan to compete with the Charger (basis off the Cadillac CT5).
once this video came out i HAAAD to send this to my grandpa. he had a barracuda in orange and he had the top of the line, most fastest, most fun to drive trim. i don’t know what trim he had he never said.
this is what he said in the text i sent him:
“it had a 340 Co engine with 3 two barrel carbs. The best engine sounds, could do 75 to 90 on a curve.”
he was really hopeful that Dodge would bring it back, but not now of course because of the pandemic. I really do hope they bring it back. That would be awesome!
The 2nd gen barracuda fastback is my favorite.
A Modern Barracuda would be dope!
Yes
l.o.l. Yeah man, real sick l.o.l.
Dodge barracuda still cancelled soz
Stop following me
I've already bought 2 of the new challengers and have owned 3 Cuda's in the good old day's, I'd sure be ready to buy one if the styling is retro enough!
It's really cool that the metalcrafters wanted to encourage Chrysler to bring it back so badly, that they built a concept to show the possibilities. I thought that you said they used a carbon fiber body to build it, if so you know it's quick with that 6.1 as light as it would be. It would be awesome if they made a smaller platform than Challenger, and would be cool to see it compete in some of the events with Ford and GM
I do believe I saw an article from “dodge” saying they are remodeling the viper factory for the Cuda and that they were going to use supercharged 6.2/6.4L HEMIs making over 800hp
What's the LATEST on That???
@WisdomOverWicked777RULES666 bro that comment was a year ago I have no effing clue
@@nolanhodges5571 😅😂😆
How about bringing back the Valiant? Slant Six and Push Button Auto. Yeah baby!
Super six lol
No baby!
Yea!!! Good Idea. We have everything we need technologically, to make a push button shifter.
I just hope that if it does come, it can compete on track as well. Chevy and Ford both race in the IMSA Pilot Challenge with the Mustang GT4 and Camaro GT4. Would be insane to watch The American Big Three competing in the same global formula.
It wouldn't be hard to make the challenger compete as in both the Cuda and the challenger would be the same exact car cause thats how it was in the 70s. The challenger I do believe is still in the trans am series. I mean look at the redeye, dodge wouldn't make a new rendition of the challenger unless they really did something to it and it only makes an extra 90 horsepower and thats because they heavily modified the suspension. The challenger can already turn pretty damn well for a 4400 pound car and they made it turn better. If they apply this technology to the next gen challenger and chargers when they finally get a brand new lighter frame, it would compete with the mustang and camaro HOWEVER, it would loose its muscle credibility. At that point its just a sports car. What I could see on the other hand would be a new coronet, it'd be like the 2 door charger everybody wants, which is ironically the challenger, except it'll compete with the mustang and camaro with corners. But what are the odds itd actually sell though. Thats the problem.
I sincerely hope not, if it were we would lose yet another classic muscle car. The challenger (and arguably the charger) are the only muscle cars left. The camaro and the mustang are a joke, there's nothing muscle about them anymore besides maybe their big engines.
Dodge doesn’t wanna do a direct competitor to the Challenger and Charger. Simple
A cuda (a coupe) wouldn't compete with the charger (sedan). It would just be a chalanger with a different face, I could maybe see it if Plymouth was still around but the market isn't big enough for two cars from the same division that are fundamentally identical.
The 300, Challenger, and Charger are on their last legs anyway, with no plans for a replacement, due to their age (the LX Platform is on its 16th Model Year) and the ever-diminishing sales.
Gilles Thibault the sales are actually doing great for the challenger and charger (before covid) but the 300 is dying for sure.
The tooling for the LX Platform at the Brampton plant is close to the end of its useful life (don't forget it's the 16th MY) and would need huge investments to upgrade (it's a huge plant). Is it worth it for barely about 180K units a year (2019 sales)?
Dodge would retire or put on hiatus the Challenger nameplate.The Barracuda would be a coupe and not compete with the sedan, Charger.
I've seen Barricudas on the road which I'm speculating were converted Challengers. If I had a choice, I'd pick the Cuda.
Really why? At least it ain't a Yaris
@@j.d.b.pennamesonofharraant3367 I like Challengers too, but the Cuda, I've loved since they were fastbacks.
I appreciate you saying some, maybe fan based images!
But, what's the Giulia for, never-mind I don't really care.
Dodge needs to bring back the viper to compete with the vette🏁🏁
Yeah but make it for a Rea man to fit into it this time
YES!!!
Love the idea of bringing back the Cuda. but not crazy about the front-end. Bring it back. some styles I saw were awesome
The red Cuda concept image at 0:52 looks more like a Camaro than any Mopar.
The main issue is it looks... fat. There isn't enough definition to the surfaces and overall lines. It just melds together like a giant blob.
Thats because they want to copy the best
@@jameshankssr466 Funny, where in his comment did he say they wanted to make it look like a Mustang ;)
Kevin B if they wanted it to look like a mustang they would put some rust on it and call the junkyard
@@jameshankssr466 Naw, there's no reason for them to go to an airplane junkyard ;), but seeing a p-51 Mustang even in a junkyard would be pretty cool ;)
the latest trademark was actually used on the new challenger red eyes with the SRT Barracuda spoiler.
Redline, not red eyes.
The cuda wont come back for the same reason the firebird wont comeback
xXcashXx3 dodge is still around.
Sad, but true. GM killing off Pontiac and Chrysler doing the same with Plymouth to me was well 🤷🏼♂️. Two brands with a loyal following. Didn’t make much sense IMO. Oh well.
Dodge purchased the rights to the Cuda name about 8 years ago. They could easily build a Cuda. GM no longer owns the rights to the firebird name.
Im a fan of firebirds and have one myself, they are making 2020 trans ams from the camaros rn, they run 100k plus due to 1k+ hp, Search superduty trans am
@@fastlyf98 What about 'Trans-Am'?
I'd rather have them do a Dart(A body) do over. Cudas are too much like a Challenger, so there isn't enough differences in body styles to justify the effort that would go into producing such a car.
Dodge Darts were boxier, and have a more distinctive look that would sell, especially if they were lighter, much like their original counterparts.
I'm not criticizing the Cuda, only pointing out that it is too similar to a Challenger.
The Barracuda became a muscle car in 64 while the Challenge began as a nose cone swap of the Barracuda in 70 and never had the draw or the sales like the Cuda.I tried out the 70 AAR Cuda but decided to keep my 67 Formula S Barracuda. Those were the days
I would love a new baracuda
BUT would/could you buy one ?
@@comradeyuri8492 depending on the price yes
As a lifelong mopar fan, a brand new cuda would be a no brainer for dodge!
Why though? They already have all the various Challengers. This seems like it would be a very similar vehicle with a different name.
Breaking in Vain Notice I said brand new, it doesn’t have to look like a challenger or a charger, something to compete with the mustang and camaro.
@@missouritruckinbear9865 Why aren't the Challenger & Charger doing that?
We need new products
Yes, smaller and lighter with the Hellcat engine.
That one in the thumbnail is tight!
The Chrysler plant has the steel stampings for the Cuda but Fiat has it on hold .
It would be super cool if we saw a cuda revival or a firebird revival, though slightly different markets I think the success of the Supra and C8 are positive signs of encouragement for automakers.
I think a Chrysler ‘Cuda could work. It could be a luxury performance coupe to compete with Lexus, BMW, Mercedes...
I really like the thumbnail picture of the cuda. It looks really nice for a modern look!
Great presentation....but, why could Mopar not bring back the Plymouth nameplate for this particular offering?
@7.59 Almost perfect, If I were Dodge I’d keep the Cuda models the same power as the SRT’s just with Cuda style changes each year.
So that Both models did not complete with one another other than one’s style choices.
There’s room for Both.
Missed a cuda concept. In the mid-80s Plymouth made a version of the Shelby (fwd) charger and called the cuda with AAR style stripes. Chrysler executives loved it but Shelby forced its cancellation as he didn’t want another car to compete within the company.
Woah, just imagine the cuda with the 8.3L V10 the one that was in the viper!
I had a 1974 barracuda with a 318 and a slapstick 3 speed. I loved that car. I would buy a cuda in a heartbeat . I have the money saved and waiting!
I would like them to see a new Duster
Absolutely, like a reworked Charger with 2 doors and different design would be perfect. I'd say release it as a luxury muscle coupe under the Chrysler badge.
@@1spunkymonkey2 the duster was a compact, bare bones cheap bargain offering. Literally the opposite of a full sized luxury coupe. Chrysler has plenty of other names to pull for a luxury oriented coupe.
@@moparyota Chrysler could reinvent it to be that perhaps, kinda like what Dodge did with turning the Charger into a muscle sedan. It would be better calling it the Duster than calling a luxury focused muscle car the New Yorker or the Imperial for instance.
@@1spunkymonkey2 perhaps. My dream scenario is dodge using the duster name (or bring back the dart) on a two door coupe with a hatchback a bit smaller than challenger, with a turbo 4, inline 6, and v8 options. Think of it as an American BRZ. Chrysler is working more towards hybrid power and ev stuff, they could do their version and emphasize electric power and some hybrid performance tech, differ the styling and call it conquest or laser. Chrysler could then do a big luxury coupe sharing the LX platform and call it cordoba, or a new name. Then chrysler and dodge would each have one full size sedan, one full size coupe, and one smaller sports car coupe/fastback.
@@moparyota Bringing back the Cordoba and basing it off the Challenger would be great. Having it be basically a reworked Challenger with a different body, meant to do only one thing, provide a comfy ride with power, a modern twist on the idea of the classic American luxury car. Also, I like your idea about an American BRZ, a mildly retro nimble coupe with various engine options to take on the Japanese sports cars. I like your idea more lol.
FCA isn't going to do it for the nostalgia's sake. It has to be deemed profitable before they spend and real R and D money on a new model..
Exactly. We already have a challenger and the charger wich is a 4 door but still a muscle car. Bringing back the coda wouldnt make too much sense
I like the 67-69 Barracuda fastbacks the best, especially the 340 powered ones!😎
I would love for Cuda to come back. I fell in love with them when my mom showed me a movie called Phantasm had 71' but wouldn't get my hopes up
I remember those cheesy horror movies, the car in those movies was sweet
I think MOPAR is on the way out, and it started when the sold out to FIAT. Fiat wanted to get their foot in the door to,sell,their cars in the US. They cut out a lot of models, and will keep doing so. It would be nice to get the CUDA back, in a 69 fast back model. But I'm sure they would screw it up like the 4 door charger.
You're "one of those" I see. I never understand those that think fiat is to blame for anything. Current Chrysler products may be getting a bit long in the tooth, but the quality has easily doubled since Chrysler freed itself from Daimler. I also dont understand those that insist on moaning about the number of doors the charger has. The charger has been a constantly evolving and changing nameplate since it was introduced in 1966. From being a genuine muscle car (66-72), to a more luxury oriented cruiser (74-78), to a front wheel driver 4 cylinder hatchback in the 80s, to a badass, practical V8 sedan that you can actually fit multiple people in to enjoy 700hp fun. Not to mention the charger still sells very well, and has been sold as a 4 door for 15 years now (and will continue to do so), and it was only offered as a 2 door for 13 model years. It's not the 60's anymore, move on. Go buy an old Charger if you can afford one and stop complaing.
Hey I love MOPAR, That is the only cars I have been driving, since I have my license in 1970. But some of the things I see what Fiat has done, all I see is it's been going down hill. Just look at the quality of their cars they have been selling the 500L. I hope they will stay afloat, if not I'll be walking, and I'm getting too old for that.
It would be great if Chrysler revived that model . it was more popular than the challenger back in the early 70s . If Chrysler gives it the "green light "with retro styling of the 70 -74 ,it would be a "slam dunk
IMO .
The Cuda at the end is perfect! The orange and grey one.
I live near the FCA North American headquarters. I see a lot of camouflaged test mules with manufacturer plates running up and down I -75 and connecting roads. I've only seen SUVs, CUVs and truck variants running around. Haven't seen any car test mules at all.
I think it would be cool if it just came back as a trim for the challenger.
I personally believe the best way to bring back the Cuda is to create something completely new. Reworking a Challenger may seem the most likely way, but that is not what any Cuda fan wants!
Make a BOLD move and create a mid engine Cuda to compete with the Corvette!
There's no reason FCA couldn't make a Plymouth Barracuda and sell it at Dodge dealerships. Call it a Dodge Plymouth Barracuda if you can't wrap your head around the idea. You don't actually need a Plymouth division to make it.
Also the challenger and charger have independent rear suspension from their inception.
Absolutely.... I definitely know there is a very good market for the return of the Cuda...it was a very popular car and...the fact is...Dodge Chrysler has benefited immensely from the long lasting lifetime of the Challenger and Charger...I actually grew up in the early years of muscle cars and...U do feel that their is a tremendous interest in those type of vehicles in this era...what have they got to lose...nothing really...why not give it a shot...SUVs ( cookie cutters) are on their way out ....the modern car enthusiast wants something different which is much more fun and exciting...!🙂
you are full of shit
I guess it would offer Mopars lovers a choice...
Like Me a Loyal Cuda lover from the 70s
I would be up for a new rendition of the 70s Cuda, but it really needs to follow the styling cues closely...
If they are gonna do this they need to do it right the 1st time...
I had a 74 Would love to see that again . Miss my ‘Cuda
If the Cuda looks like the thumbnail, I'm sold.
Ford guy here but would love to see a 'Cuda back on the playing field. Unfortunately if this "recession" we are in/heading towards doesn't turn around, it's going to be awhile before this car is on he road. Hope i'm wrong!
I know dodge probably doesn't read these comment sections, but on the off chance they do. Please bring back a limited edition challenger variant for enthusiasts, at least. A full 'Cuda segment would be amazing and I bet it would be popular. Unfortunately I could see them decide not to do this since that creates direct competition with the Challenger sales.
I wish they would bring back the cuda but as a Chrysler not a dodge , you should do a video on the dodge/Shelby combination
I always loved the barracuda in car games... a new model of it would be a dream come true
Be careful what you wish for
@@darrylwatley and why is that?
All the concepts resembles in the Challenger
@@darrylwatley true that... but at least the people know that dodge acknowledges the barracuda and is still interested in making it. Its better than nothing.
Osean Federation I can’t argue with
I dont think the Cuda would happen as a legit standalone car with different dimensions than the Challenger. As Marspeed said, the two cars would cannibalize each others sales. Im not sure if Dodge would consider a limited, special edition “Cuda” thats just a Challenger with different from and rear Fascias. They could give it exclusive paint options, a retuned 5.7L hemi and some weight reduction.
At 11:42 you say something about replacing the old solid rear axle. Which car has a solid rear axle? Thanks for the video.
I wish they would duplicate the 1970 look, smooth sides without the Challenger belt line, round single headlights, and vertical tail light panel but, it will never happen.
I always liked the old school Hemi-Cuda and the Super Bee it would be nice to have them return with a modern look and style :)
I think that dodge should release a convertible Dodge Challenger but maybe release it under the Cuda badge
Won't happen. FCA needs to justify it to be profitable.
i personally just want the dodge challenger to stay looking like the challenger, the current gen challenger is by far the most badass muscle car currently made. i'm kinda nervous for what the next gen challenger is going to look like because i really hope they don't annihilate it
Just no, "Dodge cuda" WTF ...
Dodge always be Charger and Challenger, maybe only if they bring plymouth back to life, then yes it would be cool
Interesting and valid point, for me it just seems like if they ever want to bring this back it’s gonna have to be as a Dodge
@@MarspeedCars I'm a mopar lover, I love the cuda, but I don't think two muscle car coupes in the same brand would work, it would be internal cannibalism ...
Many of this models are made in Automation and I've have few created by myself there!
This car is an Icon!
I wish they’d use the georgio platform and make it a C8 competitor offer coupe / Convertible options built into its design to make it feel as solid as the vette then Alfa can finally get its coupe built to handle American standards
The viper would be a better competitor for the c8. But, who would buy it tho? Not that many people. Unless there was a really high demand for a brand new viper to roll out, dodge won't bring it back. On top of that we wouldn't be able to get it until 2026 in the next 5 year plan.
Jerod Wolford you’re right they would keep the viper as it’s top competitor so if they were smart. FCA has marketed TrailDesertStreethawks badges different suvs one platform. Why not do the same with a new Viper? Do a Cuda Viper coupe off the MC20 platform it will already be paid for and it could be a higher price true MID Engine to complete
I think they should bring back Plymouth brand as an entry level brand, Dodge for performance, Jeep for capable SUV’s, and Chrysler would be more luxurious. Just my opinion
Yes, I want the Plymouth Cuda to return, looking just like the 1971 Cuda.
@ 4:03; That's it right there
Like hold the phone! 😮😍😍😍
I think the best way to address this is by involving an outside company to build a cuda using the challenger platform similar to the Mr. Norm Cudas. Dealers could purchase them for resale like how the Shelby Mustangs were sold. Just offer with specs not available with the Challenger, like maybe a base model with a supercharged Pentastar engine and a hipo model with the bigger hemi, etc. Maybe only offer as manuals, etc.
I know for most people the third gen is the most memorable, but I prefer the clean and elegant lines of the gen two, which had imho the best of american design possible in that time, with crisp styling and clean sheet metal with only tasteful chrome accents.
It would be nice if they can give it its own body, not just a nose cone on a Challenger.
Thats all Chrysler has ever known how to do. The Charger only knows how to go in a straight line. Bring back a smaller Barracuda with a big V6 that is fast and can go around corners.
Loved my 67 Formula S Cuda.
So Hot take...
With the Challenger and Charger being phased out in the next few years, dodge could use the chassis and drivetrain to bring back the Barracuda as a entry level placeholder model until the new challenger and Charger are ready. I basically see the Barracuda being a cheaper "fastback" version of the current Challanger, with the same 5.7 Hemi that was in the RT model. Basically a RT rebody.
I could also see Dodge rolling out the Barracuda with the new inline 6 motor everyone has been talking about. That much push the price up or down depending on the power figure as I could see a situation where the Inline 6, plus some hybrid gizmos could be more powerful than the Hemi. We'll see.
Best you’ll get is a challenger trim level. Same thing with firebird being a trim level of Camaro. That’s best you’ll get. Small enough market for the muscle cars as it is. This is the era of suv and trucks
Bring the Cuda and Roadrunner back as Chryslers. Base the Roadrunner on the Charger/300 chassis. Also bring back the Viper with a turbo 392 and design it so it competes more with the new Corvette. Also, bring back convertible versions of all of them.
The red drop top is sic. 💯 % better looking than its competitors. Please Dodge, build a ‘vert
Dodge doesn't need to compete with Mustang or Camaro Dodge been winning! Whatever they do it better resemble something modern we haven't seen before
You can't bring back the Barracuda unless you either make it a Chrysler or bring back the Plymouth brand(which they should do in my opinion)! I would love to have a new Barracuda since my mother had a 1967 version! Do it, FCA!!!
I think they will go after the new mustang, with more of a track focus. Lighter smaller and stiffer.
A Cuda would probably eat away from the charger and challeger sales. I think Dodge should however find a way to drop 600 pounds and give it about 70 hp increase, 50 ft lbs of tourqe. Redo the interior and front facia and tail
Why don't they see the 69 Charger as a " Bullet " to fire? That Charger was of all time, the best muscle style of all cars! Why do they think the Dodge Stratus even makes a good fill-in for a 69 Charger?
I think a modern version of the 68 to 70 Dodge Charger would make more sense. Those cars have more of a following then the Cuda. There is a company (can`t think of the name) thats making new Challengers look like old Chargers and they look awesome. What Dodge has done with the Challenger in the last couple of years is amazing but the car has been around since 2008.
To be honest with you I think if they ever do it it’ll probably be a special edition challenger like they did with the Daytonas where they put the wing on it and a different front end
If I am correct FCA showed off a Cuda concept along with the next gen Charger at the 2015 dealers show in Las Vegas. A member of our local lx club says he saw it and it very much resembles a 1970. He did not get any pics because everyone had their media devices confiscated upon entry.
As an owner of a 67 coupe. I’d love to see it return. But not as a modern day challenger body style. More like a upgraded, more reliable 70s body type. Yes have plenty of motor options from the 6 cylinders to the 8s. And at the release of..... a plum crazy e body with the new super charged 426 hellephant. My opinion
I don't know if it will happen, but MORE 'CUDA!!!
If they bring back the Barracuda, they should revive the Plymouth brand and the Roadrunner as well as the Superbird and Duster as well as try to fit between Dodge and Chrysler brands as well as the PSA stuff as well, Superbird could be a Plymouth version of the Viper, so yeah
They should bring it back as "Dodge Cuda" if it sells will then they can bring back Plymouth and introduce a new "Plymouth Road Runner"
I would be happy with mostly cosmetic updates to the Challenger and Charger as the Cuda and Roadrunner, respectively.
Been waiting on the cuda forever. Would sell my corvette to have one
Right there with you brother..... I’d sell my Corvette as well, but it would have to look right. Not just a makeover of a Challenger. Also would have to have a pistol grip 6 speed.😆
TheJblacc59 you’re right brother, I’m 60 now and I waited too long to get my Vette. But I’d still like to have a Cuda!😎
Somehow they need to keep the coda a Plymouth Cuda , even if they have to restart the badge of “Plymouth“ just for the Cuda and do one offs like the Cuda ,copperhead and the sidewinder as envisioned in the past it would pay for the rebadging...
FCA needs to take notice, Dodge Cuda does not go together Chrysler Cuda does not go together… Only Plymouth!
As Mopar fans would love to spend money on a new Cuda no matter how much money it is when I saw the first concept it looked like nothing more than a Camaro to me. If they build it it will sell.
I would love to see it come back on the alpha platform being a smaller lighter car that could outperform the mustang and Camaro. at one point a few years ago I thought that might really happen I was holding off purchasing a new car and hopes that they would announce that.
Looks AWESOME 👍👍🇺🇸
Dodge needs a new car and the Cuda will fit in just fine.
First thing, it needs to come out as a “Plymouth Cuda.” Okay, they shut down Plymouth, they still retain the name. Utilize existing plant space, and this would be the only Plymouth model (unless they decided to add a Duster). Then, it needs to retain the 71 Cuda looks, while being set up for road racing/touring, instead of straight ahead speed. This would differentiate it from Challenger. Finally, take it to NASCAR. I realize they are running identical cars with different stickers, but this would put a Plymouth back out on the track. Talk about promotion!
