The Cuda name, formerly a Plymouth muscle car, could return as a future Dodge.
On April 30, the automaker filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a new trademark on the Cuda nameplate. The application covers"motor vehicles, namely concept motor vehicles," hinting that even if the Cuda doesn't return as a production model, the name may be used for a new concept car.Stellantis predecessor Chrysler applied the Cuda name to sportier versions of the second-generation Plymouth Barracuda, which debuted in 1970.
However, it's also worth remembering that automakers sometimes re-up trademarks just to maintain control of significant nameplates from their back catalogs. We've also seen new trademarks for thenameplates recently, but with no clear indication of plans for a new version of either model. Still, with the Dodge Challenger nameplate now on hiatus, perhaps it's the Cuda's turn for resurrection—in concept form, at least.
