Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

I sure hope not...I'm afraid to even see what it'll look like after seeing that new dart... :(

I mean the new car may be nice, but it should've been called something else (or given it's own name), instead of insulting the legendary Dart name...my .02

Could have called it the "FART" with the all new HEMIROID power!

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

At this point, I care more about chrysler producing a V8 RWD mid price coupe that can be made available for Pro Stock and Super Stock GT. I disagree with giving the Barracuda name to a newer styled vehicle when it will probably not resemble any of the originals, but its forward thinking to allow the historic names live on in a new car while also recognizing that the market demands something different from the past. At least this new car will be equipped with a V8. Maybe at the very least they can keep some of the original lines.

And the Cuda/Baracuda cars were Plymouths.... And they/Obama and the Democrats killed that marquis.

So how genuine/authentic can that be?

Stick the the Challenger, and give it convertible on a lighter RWD platform.

And by the way, I will take one of the new SuperCharged Drag Paks based on that platform.

Then the Mustangs would finally have unwind all of the string to run faster than us.

if it came out like this, i could dig it and btw, plymouth was gone way before obama...

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

Precisely my first thought. The name "Dodge Barracuda" is incredibly disingenuous to anyone that knows, and, quite likely, the very crowd Chrysler would be going after.

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

i was informed of the "barracuda" return almost five years ago, they were waiting to put it out so it did not decrease challenger sales, i was also told it will be branded under the chrysler name. it is supposed to be a shorter smaller platform and resemble a retro 68 not a 70, remember this was told to me almost five years ago while daimler was still in controll and im sure things have changed but still nice to see some of what i was told come to pass.

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

Heard that they may be going for the second generation fastback Barracuda look, the 67-68-69 style...but then again they've been saying that about building a new one for the past 5 years, ever since the Challenger came out.

The Plymouth name was killed in 2001.

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

If the car gets better mpg than the Ford or GM or Honda offerings, then I'll get it. Since I expect gas to be well north of $5 gallon in 10 years, I'm going for fuel efficient-save gasoline for racing.

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

Say what you want, but with a mandatory 2016 CAFE rating of 35.5 and a 2025 cafe rating of 53.5, car companies are forced to move toward smaller and more fuel efficient cars. Shure, there will always be a police package or a diesel pickup that will move a mountain. But the rest will be history soon.

But don't worry. The factory has already shown they can still support S/SS with custom cars. The Mustang and Challenger are a prime example. The real question is: Will NHRA exist long enough for S/SS racing to even be a concern for the automakers?

As far as the DART, when you invest yourself as heavily as FIAT did to keep CJD alive, maybe you can have a say in what they produce and what they name it.

Re: If the new "Dart" made you want to puke
 

As a potential customer I have input to what they produce and what the call it.
Of course with the out of control leftwing nutcases running the white house and epa these days we have seen the end of this era of retro muscle cars.
Vs you imagine the board obozo picked allowing the development of the new gen. Censors?
