I have actually been looking at the Magnum since the day it came out and have been considering getting one. All I am waiting for is the AWD model to be more readily available and I am on it. AWD + Hemi =

Yeah I am a fan ever since they came out. I like the design on the Magnum and the charger but the 300M can go away for all I care.

I got to drive the Hemi and the V6 model of the Magnum right when they hit the dealer and the V6 model is a little less than impressive, the Hemi on the other hand while not a put you in your seat experience had the balls I would want in a car.

The interior could use some work though as others have said. I wish they wouldn't have used as much plastic as they had but a day at the upholstery shop could really make it feel more solid in that way. Handling was actually very impressive for a wagon and a RWD one at that (yes I scared the dealer with my driving again...good thing he was a friend of mine).

Interior room was nice but it did still hold some of the tight spots that were a downfall to the Durango (1st and 2nd gen) with the center console being a hair tight on the driver, but it is tolerable overall.

I would buy one no problem. I think a simple moderate drop with some 19s under it, tint, and some interior work would make this a very stron VIP style ride...and I love VIP cars

Those things are becoming popular in audio shows. They have enormous cargo room and actually offer better acoustics than a boxy SUV.

You know what will be great? The day the Lambo door conversions die. They're gay, and on a 4-door it makes even more gay.
