Will be there Jan 2013 or news broke last January?

Breaking news of Ralph Gilles’ SRT Barracuda at January’s North American International Auto Show (Detroit).

The article also includes crappy comments on the Dart.

 

[mofan]

neither, those are the rumors (claiming that they broke the story?..hah) combined with comments manipulated that they confirmed this in 2012. Unless I missed something big i havent read any official announcement that the barricuda was going to be made.

I would be surprised, given what's on the publicly available lineup of press conferences.

 

[Mario175]

Only one press conference for Chrysler and that is for jeep. I dont think they will introduce the Chrysler 200 in Detroit or any dodge vehicles.

 

[JohnRogers]

The more I think on it I believe a reading comprehension problem on my end. Didn't Barracuda rumors begin at Detroit NAIAS last year?

 

[Dave Z]

No

Barracuda rumors began in that video last year where Ralph was standing in front of a sporty 4 door concept. A few weeks later a Chrysler spokesperson dropped the Barracuda name in the same sentence as the 6.2 Turbo Hemi and since then, speculation has been rampant and wild...and mostly in error.

It's AUTOMOBILE...consider the source.

Turbo 6.2??

I think you meant to say Supercharged 6.2

I read the article. Whenever I read reporting (journalism and reporting are two very different things), I get a vibe about its authenticity. I didn't get that warm fuzzy reading this. It sounded like somebody had a word count to fill, and had to get something down quickly and didn't have time to do things correctly.

Reporting is what the nightly news (et al)does.

Journalism is what Frontline does (EDIT: AND ALLPAR).

:lol:

Well I just wanted to make sure the Barracuda rumors didn't get any MORE derailed than they already are! hhahaha

I spent too much time in the Magnuson booth at SEMA...must have blocked it out with chocolate pie yesterday

 

[MRGTX]

Well...nothing new at the Detroit show, as you all predicted.
Supposedly it came up at one of the press conferences with the Fiat/Chrysler honchos. Does anyone know the specifics about what was said?

I'm still trying to keep the miles off of the blue oval to protect the trade-in value.

 

[Dave Z]

It's in the Sergio interview we ran last week. It's still easy to find under "last week's features."

 

[MRGTX]

Thanks, Dave! I'll take a look!

A HemiCuda sold for big bucks at Barrett Jackson. The Barracuda name has a lot of cache amoung the enthusiasts.
