Barracuda to Return?
One of the rumor mills favorite subjects is the return of the Barracuda nameplate. FCA’s recent trademark application to keep the Barracuda name in the family stoked the fire.

(The photo below is of a previous concept car, not the car displayed in Las Vegas). Find more info at Motor Authority.
