OK, maybe not. Or at most they're just dredging up old model names because all the recent Chrysler ones give people an immediate turn-off.

Sorry, Dodge Hornet and Dodge Matador just don't sound right...

No. not back. Biggest news there is the Li'l Ram Express to compete with Ford's small van.

I hate "speculative renderings" They get my hopes up.

If they actually bring over the grande punto abarth I will buy one. Who cares if a dodge badge is on it. I can get the correct bits shipped over from europe.

Not really a fan of Chrysler, the only one that looks good to me is the 200C.

I do, however, wish everyone remotely involved with them good luck.

Well, if the soon to be Dodge truck (they are "spinning off" the Ram name, so that Ram will be a seperate brand) have a goat's head as their hood ornament, why not a Dodge Matador ? Sort of a Ram's tamer? Wait, the logic I had is mind....

If you go back in car naming history, you will find several names that were used by several different companies. Concord? Used by AMC and Chrysler, though the Chrysler had an added "e" to make you think of the aircraft. After the Concorde was pulled from service, you will notice the car went away too.

Ford uses the Galaxy name on an MPV in Europe, but it used to use a similar name on it's sportiest full sized car.

Anyway, I think the Hornet name could work on a small/sporty car, again.

Stinger please. I wanted a Grande Punto so badly when we were in Italy but they gave us a lancia Muso which was a terd.
