Return of the Chrysler Pentastar !?! :)

[wirewilly]

I would much rather have this emblem on my hood than that stupid ram head. What in god's name does a ram head have to do with tire smokin' muscle cars anyway!

Heck Willy,you ought to have that one. A ram is an aggressive Beast ; A true Challenger !It can dig in its hoofs just like the mean treads on your truck or muscle car and because of that can peel out real fast !: if need be - just like what happens upon applying ' Pedal to the Metal ' !! !!! !!!

I agree. An updated pentastar would not bother me. The only thing that bugs me is that rams-head emblem on the Challenger. It is okay for "ram-tough" trucks but does not belong on a classic muscle car.

The ram's head logo has no more business on a Mopar muscle car than the over-used "cross hair" grill that's been "rammed" down our throats across the entire product line. It looks pretty good on the Charger (IMHO), but enough already! Maybe these new owners will return some pride and tradition to the Chrysler brand. I bleed "Corporate Blue" (for those who remember what that is), not "Ram Red."

I agree with xjameson. When I think of a Pentastar, I think of a K-car.

Too Young to know better! Pentastar has been around since 1963.BTW the K car and mini van were very good to Chrysler

I agree with Mopardude. If it weren't for the K-cars, minivans and derivatives, we probably wouldn't be looking forward the the Challenger's rebirth!!!! I had a Reliant (my first new car). It was a great little car, but it died at the hands of a cement block truck in a rear end collision. I got close to 40 mpg on the highway in that little car back in the mid-80s. djd's turbo

Yeah, I also agree ; with Mopardude & djd's turbo ! Granted the K-cars weren't a stylish model or a large and/or luxury car like the 50's & 60's Newports ,Imperials etc. : but they weren't suppose to be.The same holds true for the Omni's and the Horizon's,which by the way :in its very first year of production-1978- the front wheel drive Dodge Omni sold 189,000 units and the European version, badged as the Chrysler Horizon, was voted European 'Car of the Year' ! !! They were for better mileage and practicallity ! The minivans too ! They are what carried Chrysler through the gas wars and other hard times; something that Mister Lee Iococca can be proud of : the true Leader he was and still is !! !

This is the dodge division logo from the late 60's early 70's as the Ram head is the Dodge logo today. Actually all divisions had there seperate logo I will see if I can find a pic of the Plymouth logo. The pentastar is the corporate logo and Chrysler used it on all brands in the 80's. The early 90's the divisions started useing there own logo again the Ram head for Dodge The sailboat for plymouth and the gold seal for chrysler the wings were added to the seal when Damiler took over
