There's too much marketing power behind the name to ignore, IMO. Much more than the name Challenger. Would you really care if it were a Dodge or a Plymouth Hemi Cuda with 450+ hp? I sure wouldn't. |

I sure wouldn't. Marketing power will fall off with only part of the name. I don't think 'Ford Cougar' would work in grabing the power of the name. If they wouldn't care if was called a plymouth they wouldn't care if was called a Cuda either. It could be the Dodge Coelacanth.... http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/InNews...toric2006.html |

Probably close to what the marketeers thought about GTO over at GM. |

It wasn't the name that killed the GTO it was the car they put it on. If D-C markets a Hemi Cuda worthy of the name it will sell regardless of whether it is a Dodge or Plymouth. Like Joe said, I don't remember hearing Plymouth Hemi Cuda much just Hemi Cuda. |
