Maybe Cerberus will be a good owner for Chrysler...

They say that they will be refreshing it... hopefully they can make it sleek, stylish and progressive looking.

They want the pentastar to evoke the memories of the cars of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s - not the k-cars of the 1980s. Good to see the classic insignia coming back, though.

What about the Crystal Key? Will those return too?

 :bigsmile:

I'm interested to see what they will do to modernize the pentastar should be cool
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

I tend to not think of the cars of the late 70's and 80's as being associated with the pentastar logo (although I should I guess) looking at the comments on the article, I'm in the minority. But I also remember that no one made a good car during those years, foreign or domestic

I always liked my Daytona 2.2
A pretty cool car and very reliable.  Certainly more fun then the Camaro 2.8  :eek4:
