There's an idea! Black on Black on Black. Smoked glass all around, a hearse curtain for the back glass, and perhaps a chrome supercharger peeking through the hood atop a 5.7 hemi. Argh argh argh! Can you open the window separate of the tailgate? Can you order with a "sideloader" option? Nat
Honey, I've been thinking about trading the old van in on one of them new Magnums, what'ya think?

I guess if it hadn't been all black with really dark windows, it may have looked better but that one turned me right off.

Don't matter what color it is, my GF thinks they all look like a hearse...

A black one w/ dark black tint would be pretty sweet!

You would have loved this one then, you could not even see in from the driver window back. Maybe some pin striping or something. It was also a V6, I just can't see owning a V6 in something that big either.

I went to the intro night at my dealer too. Nice car. If I were in the market for a car, it would be high on the list. The Hemi 5.7 is rated at 390 lb ft in this application . That's gonna be one fast machine.

My better half has a 2004 Intrepid with the 3.5 V6: 250 hp, 250 lb ft, and, let me tell you - it's a stong runner. For most non-enthuiasts, the 3.5 will be more than adequate in the Magnum. 22 mpg city driving too, not too shabby.
