Meep Meep! New Roadrunner?
New Roadrunner anyone? 
I think the term is, "never in a month of Sundays", but I say you can never have too many muscle cars.

Yes, we know the Plymouth brand went extinct a few years ago, and Mopar Enthusiast magazine obviously knows that as well, but that didn't stop them from taking part in some wishful thinking. Their August/September issue features their vision of a 2010 Plymouth Road Runner concept car that takes styling cues from the '71-'72 model years. Features include 21-inch front and 22-inch rear magnesium 5-spoke wheels, LED taillights, and 14-inch Brembo brakes. Under the hood is HEMI power, with the 5.7L V8 coming as standard, and 6.1L and 7.0L available as options mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. While we doubt the Plymouth brand will be making a comeback just to resurrect the Road Runner name, we could definitely see another 2-door LX car with Chrysler badging.
Original '72, for reference.

Don't like the bumper either.

I like it.. I even like it much better than the Challenger...
I have a soft spot for the body design because my father used to have a 1973 Plymouth Satellite Sebring with that same body. I do prefer the 1972 front end before bumper regulations took over. Those bumper regulations ruined some of the 1970's most beautiful cars..

As the OP said, you can never have too many muscle cars! 
It's too bad that we probably won't see too many more muscle car resurrections after the Challenger and Camaro, thanks to the cost of oil and the economy
