The 'Cuda would be tougher to pull off as the Plymouth brand is gone.

thats a little better looking than the first few art photo's, where they mixed the cuda and challenger together along with an ugly body style

that body line actually almost looks like the original body line,

front end looks really weird though?

how is that a 1970 based challenger when the front end dont look like a 1970? isnt the grill supposed to look like a 70? heh how can it be based on a 70 when the main thing everyone thinks of when they think of a 1970 challenger is the grill and rear tail lights. (which they got right)

other than the grill which looks like a 70-71 mix up, it dont look bad, atliest its not messed up like the charger.

is this still going to be a prototype? because the Original pictures of the charger looked awesome also... then it became what it is now.

There wont be a cuda, ever again, unless it will be the "challenger" with an extra option package and be called the "cuda"

thats the only way it would happen. no way would they build 2 seperate E body based cars ever again

Yes, but Detroit has moved nameplates to different brands before.

Yes, My beloved "Plymouth" is gone, if they make a "Cuda, it will fall under the Chrysler name plate. I know someone pretty high up in Chrysler and that is the verdict on that one. On another note...I took an SRT 300C out for a ride the other day ( 6.1 liter Hemi, 420 HP), same friend let me take her out and it is meaaaaan. How's high 12's in a family cruiser

If you guys are talking about that black car in the picture Shovelhead posted count me in. I can't see the first link.

Poke a big 8-71 blower through the hood and I see "ROAD WARRIOR 2007" in the very near future. What do you guys think?

I think the thing with the grille, is Dodge's new trademark is the cross hair grille. So that has to be in there some where. I want the car. I wanted the SRT8 300, but I'm going for the Challenger now. Would look sweet next to our 70 Challenger. Hmmm hopes it comes in a matching Top Banana.
