I'd love to see the Cuda make a comeback. Along with the rest of Plymouth's muscle lineup. We need less of this economy sized 4cylinder European body styling crap. Bring back the all American muscle.

As long as it looks like a cuda, and not like the Charger that looks nothing like the orig. car
My daughter has a "Super Bee Charger" and it is a nice car, but it should of never been called a Super Bee or a Charger.
If it does not look like it then it should of had a new name

I was a little disappointed by this generation of Chargers. It would've made more sense to call them Coronets. If they did what they did with Chally, but better... I'll save up for one.

I always thought the new chargers always looked much more like the 4 door satellites...I had a '69 four door for a couple months and when I was next to a new charger, you could see almost all the angles and lines were the same. I also feel the same way about the Dart...Why?? Are all the names for cars used up?

I am really surprised on one has come out with a 'Cuda front and rear clip kit for Challenger. That is all you really need.

Same could be done for Cammaro to Firebird..

Thanks. The cuda is cool but single round headlights would be even cooler for AAR

It would be nice if whatever it is combines a strong motor with a proper independent rear suspension; sacrilege to the old-school purists but that would put it a leg up on the Fords and GMs. Especially combined with a strong motor.

Plymouth is all done, so would it be called the Dodge Cuda? Doesn't roll off the tongue quite right.

Read the article, it says no styling cues from original Cuda, not a retro look car.

I have driven a few of the new charger police cars. They are nasty! But I could do without the name Charger. Its true that they should not use iconic names unless the car takes inspiration from the original car. I love the look of the new Challenger. If they do discontinue it I shall be very sad.

If the Cuda looks nothing like the original cars I am going to protest..... somehow.

Old thread revival, Power Block TV is running a teaser ad showing a view of the top of the grille up to a shaker hood scoop. The Cuda is back.

Can't say what is on Chrysler's' mind, just telling you what a I saw this past Sunday morning. Watch Spike TV 's Power Block shows and tell me what you folks see. I know what I saw and it was topped with a shaker hood scoop.

Finally found the ad. Why show only the top of the grille to the hood scoop if this is the Challenger? Everyone knows what the Challenger looks like, why not show the rest of the car? The only words are what you see on the screen, "If you know, you know".

Why replace a car that sells so well? This is what the big 3 always do. Bring out something that does well and screw it up.

Fiat hasn't been selling it's cars like it hoped so there's been talk of them pulling Fiat and dumping the Chrysler name, 300 and town and country and just having Ram, Jeep and maybe Dodge?
I don't know how it came out I guess I care that much.

Chrysler hasn't been Chrysler since Mercedes bought them out.
