   My point being, I seriously doubt there will be any future Plymouth   
   vehicles.  I don't expect any of the sited venerable names to ever   
   resurface with new product, despite the fact that all those names are   
   legendary.  Wildstar's logic (an oxymoron from an oxymoron) fails to   
   hold up.
