Stellantis Has Refiled For The ‘Cuda Name Trademark

Stellantis (FCA US) has recently taken a step that has many people buzzing on social media.

I mean...2006 Charger? Definitely ruffled feathers then, but now? People are saying the next gen sedan looks better than it's coupe counterpart, some having even hoped for it to show up before they took off the wraps.
A Cuda branded crossover is definitely a bridge too far, thankfully I don't think that'll actually be the plan. They'll still probably want a third crossover for sales (I personally would just say no), name it Polara or Coronet is what I say however.

Original New Gen Challenger had more Cuda' Style then Challenger.

Let’s hope and see a Cuda concept based on the Charger’s STLA large platform.
I’d be happy to park a new Cuda or Charger next to my Challenger.
