Folks over at Chrysler have filed another extension for the Barracuda nameplate, according to Allpar, which would be at least the fifth extension in three years with no new car in sight.
The filing over at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is wonderfully vague, specifying only “passenger automobiles, their structural parts, trim and badges” in the filing made June 23.
Reviving the Barracuda name would be incredibly difficult, considering it may not currently have a place to live.
In 2012, Chrysler rumbled about replacing the current-generation Challenger with an SRT Barracuda, but those plans never materialized. We got a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat and we have yet to hear anyone complain.
The aging LX platform should be replaced in the coming years and could produce Alfa, Dodge, Chrysler, Lancia or Maserati vehicles. The original Barracuda was based on the Valiant so it’s possible the new, smaller Giulia could be a future ‘Cuda platform.
Or it’s possible Chrysler just renewed the trademark because that’s what they do.
