Is the Barracuda a Dodge?

Is the Barracuda a Dodge
The Barracuda is not currently a Dodge. The Barracuda was originally produced by Plymouth, which was a sub-brand of Chrysler Corporation. However, the Plymouth brand was phased out in 2001, and the Barracuda has not been reintroduced alongside the third generation Dodge Challenger.
There have been rumors and speculation about the return of the Barracuda under the Dodge brand. In 2012, there were reports that the Barracuda would come back in 2014 under the SRT Marque, replacing the Challenger instead of being built alongside it. However, the SRT division was re-consolidated under the Dodge banner, and the Challenger remained in production without a Barracuda replacement.
More recently, there have been rumors of a new Barracuda scheduled to arrive under the Dodge brand. It has been suggested that the new Barracuda will be underpinned by the Giorgio platform, which is different from the platform used for the current Dodge Challenger. However, these rumors have not been officially confirmed.
In summary, while there have been rumors and speculation about the return of the Barracuda under the Dodge brand, there is currently no concrete information indicating that the Barracuda is a Dodge.
