I like the idea of bringing back the Cuda, but like it's already been said, I'm not too crazy about the design. Too "modern" for me. It's not a bad looking car, just not a "Cuda".. Just my  :2cents:

They'll never revive the Plymouth name - plymouth became Chrysler's "Kia" brand in it's last handful of years and Chrysler felt it cheaped the image too much.  Not to mention it just became too redundant - a Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Caravan AND Plymouth Voyager?  And did we need too different Neons?  In it's last decade or so of existence, Plymouth only had one exclusive vehicle - the Prowler - which was a very unique vehicle completely lacking in performance and credibility, and of course, quite expensive.

I'd be alright buying a "Chrysler Cuda," but at least following the one Car & Driver article I read, they have no intentions of reviving the 'Cuda.

I'm okay though - I already have one.  :)

It's the bastard child of a Mustang and Camaro!

 Those fender lips smell of Mustang, and the rest of it like others have said looks way too much like the new Camaro.

... In it's last decade or so of existence, Plymouth only had one exclusive vehicle - the Prowler - which was a very unique vehicle completely lacking in performance and credibility, and of course, quite expensive. ...

When i first saw the Prowler i thought it was an AMAZING design and i planned to get one. However after learning that it only comes with a V6, i quickly changed my mind. Yes, you can also make a V6 run fast. But what's the point of a car that resembles a classic HotRod, when you leave out it's V8 heart and soul???

A HotRod shouldn't have to revv at high RPMs to have power at it's disposal! If the Prowler came with a nice smallblock V8 though, i'd get one in black.
