well considering all the prowlers that are around are called dodge prowlers for whatever reason, the cuda would probably go dodge


besides dodge is the muscle and chrysler is the refined luxury, un less you count mercedes

Well see those black challenger pictures you have are just people and what they think they should look. Also it would be nice if they could revive the Cuda but it would probabely just end up a look alike to the new Dodge Challenger.

If DCX builds that one drawing, it is a failure in my book. Looks like a DCX version of an RX8 car. They need to build something like the new Mustang which I think is a sweet car and at least when yyou see one, you know what it is. I really like what they did the new Mustang. I give Ford thumbs up for doing a good job on the retro design.

This is what the Charger was supposed to look like. This concept car came out in 2000. I saw this in person and the pictures do not do it justice. I would have bought one on the spot...  I am a little disappointed in the one that was actually produced..... So you never know what the new Challenger or Cuda will look like..      Note:  I do own a 70 cuda 383 4pd... 

See link for pics (of the charger concept)...

i dont like the concept all that well!! i like the new charger except the back 2 doors!! imo i think they captured the charger styling and performance i test drove a new hemi daytona charger they run and ride great!! they have the back tunnel window like the old charger round tail lights like the 68 and the grille even kinda reminds me of a 71 charger!! i like the new charger!! i just hope the challenger is a 2 door and a manual! which the guy that i talked to say it would be a 2 door hemi powers 6 speed to compete with the mustang and gto croud!!

Yes I would love to have that cuda setting next to my 70 Barracuda.  I hope they come out with it and soon.  I hope that i can get one when they come out for sure.

We need a Cuda Challenger motorcade to the motor city. I Drove my AAR over to the local Dodge dealership last week-end. They swarmed all over the car and then asked me if I had seen the new Charger. The sales people have never seen a cuda or a challenger which explains why they like the new Charger, they just don't know any better. Most of then wern't born yet, not that it was their fault. When I left I added some racing stripes too! I've sent several E-mails begging them to check out this site. Maybe we should do a Cuda-Challenger e-mail campaign. Anyone got the E-mail address of Chrysler decision makers?

IMO they cant recreate the challenger, they might make a nice car that looks a bit like the challenger, but it will never be a challenger to me.

I would be happy if the '07 chally looked like this.(no offence to challenger owners, I dont want them to replace your car, But how can you improve on perfection?)

(the reason it has the black line is because I lowered it but didnt feel like cleaning up the edges)

Anyone got the E-mail address of Chrysler decision makers?

If you have any comments/suggestions for DC stuff, you can send it to:

DaimlerChrysler Corporation
Outside Suggestion Office
CIMS: 483-02-07
800 Chrysler Drive East
Auburn Hills, MI 48326-2757

Supposedly it makes a difference.  I sent a letter to Dieter Zetsche (President of DC, or did he leave to go to Germany?) and one of his assistants called my house to let me know that she is forwarding my letter to the Outside Suggestion Office.   She said our opinions are definately important in the developement of their cars. 

Let put in our $0.02 for the possible new Challenger (and maybe the next update to the Charger! ;) )
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
