A Photoshop wizard from Sao Paulo, Brazil by the name of Rafael Reston figured that Chrysler wasn't working fast enough (if at all) and decided to mock up his own interpretation of a Barracuda revival. While we're not entirely sold on the styling cues he chose, which straddle the line between concept car gauche and an art student's waste basket, we still like the idea. But it's highly doubtful that Chrysler has the time or resources to pour into a low-volume seller that has the possibility of cannibalizing sales from the Challenger.

i like the challenger, but im not too fond of this. Two thumbs down in my book.

[TA^Guy]

Yeah.... Like this will ever happen, Plymouth died what, 10 years ago? And if Chrysler does call it a Chrysler Plymouth Baracuda it would be as much blasphemy as their so called HEMI Magnium. Any true muscle car enthusiast knows that the Hemi, and Magnium were two completely different engines, but since Chrysler/Dodge are the marketing whores they are why not trounce two good names on one engine.

They should have made the consept hemi cuda I saw in a mag as month ago. It looked more like the old cuda but had that moderan look, it was pretty badass looking but this one you posted looks like crap in my book. The new camaro still is #1 IMO.

its obviously a combinations of the new camaro and the challenger.
