Anyone drove the new Dodge magnum?

has anyone drove the Magnum with the Hemi? The wife is drooling over the body design and has never cared about a car before.

Nice car,

My wife and I drove the HEMI powered version, awsome!! Will turn the tires, sounds good, very comfortable. Overall a great package. My only dilema, 2004 Caravan to trade in?? Lost 10K in 4 months!!

They drive great. Finally, Dodge has something really sharp, drives great, V8, rear wheel drive - - nice package. So is the Chrysler 300.

My Dodge dealer is having some gathering on the 17th to showoff the new vehicles... I even get a free Silver Dollar or something for attending...

I do like the magnum and that's pretty much all I'm driving down there too see...

TPilaske I got one of those things in the mail too! I would like to go not sure if I can though.

I "SAT" in one the other day. It is cool. I couldn't get over the size of the hood. The dealer said they had a chance to drive them on a track and he said they handle like a dream.

I asked my wife if we could get one. I told her it was the new "Family Truckster"

She hates wagons though!

Tony, maybe one day we'll get rid of the Crown Vic's and you can see them up close in the rear view on one of your "visits"

I'm trying to interest my wife in a Hemi Magnum to replace her 5.9L (360) Durango. She isn't into the '49 Merc "chopped top" look, though. I'll keep working on her!

Pull out some of those old Hot Rod magazines from the 50's, Rusty. Just leave them around here and there for a few weeks - - let her remember the good ole days and how cool those babies were. You know how to do it - - - Honey, remember that 51 Merc that I had when we were first dating? How cool that was - - - how much fun we had in that car (we won't squeel on what that "fun" was, will we). She will start longing.
