Default RE: Cuda Rumors

As for rumors of the return of the ’Cuda on the same platform (presumably as a Chrysler now that Plymouth is defunct), Ralph Gilles, vice-president of Jeep, truck, and component design, was not hot on the idea in a recent conversation with Car and Driver.

“I can see it being done as aftermarket, but not something we would do lightly as a production model,” Gilles says, for a number of reasons. One, you don’t mess with history. Second, the hot designer thinks, in many ways, that the Challenger was a better design than the ’Cuda. Third, and probably most important, he wants the new Challenger to have its day in the sun—unfettered.
