The Camaro, the Mustang, the Challenger. It's become the era of the remake, as U.S. auto design studios (like Hollywood studios) seek hits by producing updated versions of classics from the past.
Rumors here and there suggest that Chrysler will be bringing back the Barracuda a/k/a the 'Cuda, a short-lived mean machine that played its part in impromptu American street drags from 1964 to '74 and actually does somewhat resemble its namesake fish. (In contrast I have no idea what a "Camaro" actually is.)
The Barracuda was produced by Chrysler sub-brand Plymouth, which was shut down almost ten years ago. Now that Fiat's in charge of Chrysler, perhaps the new 'Cuda should be called the Cioppino....
