Why The Barracuda Deserves A Second Chance

Ottmundr said

I was thinking about this on my drive home from work, in my 1968 BARRACUDA (not a 'cuda dammit!). They already have a modern looking E body. I would love to see a modern A body. Front engine, rear drive, four seat, two door coupe. Make it a fastback hatchback if needed. They still have the 5.9 Magnum, right? Call the damn thing a 360, not a 5.9. Modern A body, modern LA engine. If not a Barracuda or Devilfish (not a 'cuda), and since it's DODGE and not PLYMOUTH, a new Dodge DEMON!

Seems like a good idea to me. Downsize the car and put a monster motor in it.
I don't know how sales of the Challenger are going. But I they surround me everyday on the interstate.
The bean counters and marketing gurus would have to decide if a comparable Barracuda would eat into the Challenger sales.
Is there still room in the world for a Camaro/Firebird, Mustang/Cougar, Challenger....wait there is no longer a Plymouth line.
Your idea has merit to me.
I was thinking earlier that they might just create an new crummy econobox based on what ever platform parts are available and stick Barracuda on it.
It;s all about money to business.
And there at those government regulations to work with. I was just reading the history of Morgan cars.
Sounds like a nightmare to even get them into the US market over the years.
