The intimidation factor is gone. It looks like a hybrid between the old 1990’s Dodge Spirits and the 1995 Ram Truck front end. The styling is too refined

If you guys didnt hate GM so much, http://www.cheersandgears.com is a nice site to discuss cars. No flaming, everyone is friendly and knows what their talking about for the most part, they do discuss other brands and everyone is welcome, but it is a site mainly for GM fans.

God, if we could only get rid of the children, this would be a nice place to share car discussions.

its borderline humorous if he really is joking, because what he says is truly a joke. the nazi thing really ISNT cool though, its idiotic.

Hahaha, Yea I think he is mostly trying to piss people off, just like GarbageMotorsCo, BrokenCadillac, S-60 etc. that want to piss of the GM fanatics. The Nazi thing isn’t cool though. I think the rest of the stuff is sorta funny though.

I like the looks of the Magnum more, what does the Audi cost? SRT’s are pretty damn expensive, I know the Chargers are going for like $46k here, we dont have any SRT Magnums.

Brendino,
Hottest Wagon ever?
Nope.
Audi RS6+Avant. 480hp, 0-60 in 4.4 WITH AWD and much more luxurious/loaded interior.

No their not. Chrysler has been taken over by the Nazis and Ford builds their **** in Mexico. GM is the only real American brand for America. Everything else is waste that needs to be eliminated.

LOL! Guess I would be ok than, I’m driving two Chevrolets. I understand they Toyota, Honda, BMW etc. But whats the deal with Ford and to a lesser extent Chrysler, their American?

I like the design and 5 seconds is pretty quick for a station wagon really…

I thought gay guys wanted Hybrid Toyotas and Hondas? Didnt know they liked going fast. GMrules, why would you want to see Chrysler go away? Its one of the few domestics left (half domestic), look around on this site and you wont find too many domestic fans on here, I think Im one of the few, we need GM, Ford and Chryselr to stick around. I would rather Toyota go away, atleast I like some of Chryslers designs and their willing to take risks.

Magnum SRT8 = baddest station wagon ever.

However, I don’t like the redesign of the front. it’s been Calibrated or Nitro’d or something.

By: GMrules

Go away Chrysler. Just go away please.

Pathetic waste of space. GM has got your number and is going to wipe you out.

umm is this facelift only for the SRT-8 or for the whole model line, and is just being demo’ed on the SRT to make people feel its less ugly cause of the 6.1?

More downward spiral in the land of Chrysler. The American Revolution is taking names and kicking ass. Chrysler will be out of business by next year I predict. And they won;t be the last!

You rarely see projector headlights looking bad on a car..this is one of those rare cases.

This wagon begs for a Diesel engine…come on Chrysler, you can do it!

obsessedwithautos is right, this is a relatively boring truckish design, the thing is to me, it looks like the front end of a sedan, like as if the front end of a extra butch sedan was grafted onto the body of a wagon, it looks awkward to me

Dodge: We try are damnedest to make our cars look like trucks. And unimaginative ones at that too.

the new front end has lost a little of the original muscularity, which was a large part of the original car’s appeal

Butch, indeed. I guess we can assume that the rest of the Magnum family will receive the fron-end makeover as well.

Scott kempton, 5 seconds is not slow, but for a 6.1 liter V8 “Hemi” with 420hp, I wouldn’t say it’s fast either. The Magnum is a porker of a vehicle at 4000lbs. Now let me put this into perspective. I drive an Offroad XTerra with a 6 speed manual, and a V6 that puts out 260hp. My truck gets to 60 in 7 seconds and it weighs 400lbs more. I would like to think that 2 more cylinders, 2 extra liters in displacement, 160 more horsepower, that my truck would actually be in the 4’s. Apples to oranges, I know. But considering what that Magnum has under the hood, it should be quite a bit faster.

With regards to engineering, all of that power comes at a huge gas hogging cost. There are equally powerful engines out there getting much better milage. The Magnum itself weighs as much as an SUV without being an SUV. Could you imagine how much it would weigh with 4WD? I have driven a few Chryslers: Pacifica, 300C, and a Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 liter. I liked them, not bad vehicles at all. I just felt they were porky and could really benefit from going on weight watchers.

Doesn’t look much different and this car never really did it for me. A two door Charger redesign would.

Sorry, but I like the old headlamps better, they give the magnum a meaner look. Yes it is a SRT8, make it look mean, don’t make it look like a sissy station wagon. It needs to shout “don’t mess with me” know what I mean? I like the Magnum, always did, I like the high hood along with the 300C. but they should keep those headlights that look like angry eyes…..lmao

Way nicer than those porky Lamda minivans. Balls, utility and good looks all in one.

it would be sweet if it came with some self esteem for the owner. maybe a penile implant. maybe even a barbed wire tatoo.

Piablo—0-60 in five seconds flat is seriously quick. You’re either lucky enough to drive something that’s even faster than that so you’re jaded, or you don’t understand how quick that is. And remember—this is, essentially, a station wagon, not a Viper.

And have you ever driven a Chrysler with a Hemi in it? It is a seriously sporty engine that revs really quickly, and sounds great doing it. I’d have one if I wasn’t too cheap to pay for the gas it drinks.

They really emphasized the truck-like look of the front end. And everyone really needs a Hemi-powered station wagon. I guess its better than a Hemi-powered minivan.
