I was just speculating, because everybody is so "HEMI CUDA" nutz right now, (and have been for so long) that I just figured Mother Mopar might as well "cash in" on the feeding frenzy. After all, even though the Plymouth trade mark is gone, I'm pretty sure Chrysler still owns the rights to it.
When it comes to an automotive "family" of cars, sometimes a cars name gets switched around every once in awhile. For instance, in Europe the Viper is known as the Chrysler Viper, etc.
As a former "Original" Challenger rag top owner Kmag, are you wondering (like I am) if there's going to be a topless version in its future?
Yes the ragtop would be a great looking car. Frankly, the hardtop is fantastic in itself. Just read an article in Motor Trend and they are wondering too if DCX will produce these cars (especially the new Imperial). They seem to think the Challenger (being a two door and all) might have a more limited appeal...who knows? Do you think the lack of success with the Crossfire would influence their thinking? Maybe the idea of two doors scares the car companies now. Just a thought.
