The Cuda nameplate would not make sense. That was Plymouth's car and shared the exact same platform as the Challenger. It would be like Chevy dropping the Camaro name and using Firebird instead.
As for a new smaller Challenger, they would have to develop a completely new platform just for the Challenger since the current car shares it with the Charger and is the main reason it weights so much. If Dodge drops the Viper, I could see something like that. But unlikely that Dodge will depart from the Charger platform to make a new Challenger that has never sold well enough to justify something like that. Dodge is desperate, so who knows
