I kinda like the description of the American trucks in the second paragraph.  In my mind I rewrote it with Cuda replacing US pickup truck. 
Reminds me of what a REAL BARRACUDA is to the rest of the muscle car pack!

 This is pulled from yahoo cars UK & Ireland.
 http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/mazda-b-series-pick-up-range-1002235.html

Lets get one thing straight: To us, pick-up trucks like the Mazda B-Series might send all the right messages but if you took one across the pond to cowboy country youd get a whole new perception of their position in the grand scheme of things. Drive the B-Series here and you feel important. Theres a gruff rumble from the turbocharged diesel engine and youre sat up high on those big bouncy wheels looming over superminis, city cars and soft-roaders. For all anybody knows, you could be off for a hard days work or on your way to participate in some absurdly dangerous adventure sport.

In America, the pick-ups spiritual home, the B-Series, or any other UK market model, would be dwarfed by the gigantic open-backed beasts that prowl the highways. Unchecked by exorbitant fuel prices, limited space or consideration for other road users, US pick-up buyers have demanded bigger, bolder and brasher models. To the extent that, if one of these monsters pulled up alongside your B-Series at a stop sign, you might only be on a level to gaze fearfully across into the vast chasm of its wheel-arch, your thoughts muddied and confused by the deafening roar of its gas-guzzling V8. That said, on these shores, the Mazda B-Series is up there with the big boys in terms of size power and desirability - the less said about those crazy Americans, the better.

Just let the name R.I.P. There will never be another machine built worthy of the name so I say just let it go. Chrysler has disgraced several once great names over the years, don't let this one be another.

Definately retire the "CUDA" name IMO.. especially before they try to ressurect it like they did with the 1984 charger 2.2 front wd. Great beater car to jump railroad tracks with, but not much else  LOL   :roflsmiley:
