Is it me or does that car actually look more like a 4-door GTO? Looks similar from behind. :scratch: Looks good though!

That might not necessarily be true. I did the Aus dollar to USA dollar conversion. A Ford Falcon XR6 would go for about $27,700... well within range of the Dodge Magnum SXT. Take into account that the 4.0 I6 (called the Barra 182) in the Falcon can fairly spank the 3.5L V6 in said Magnum.

it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it

Assuming you weren't being cynical, no, my implication was not "no replacement for displacement".

In fact, the Barra 182 is a fairly advanced engine, being an aluminum DOHC with variable intake valve timing.

If you scale back the torque in favor of horsepower, you could probably get something like 260/260 horsepower/lb-ft.

In other words, this I6 can fairly trounce most V6's in the American market...

It's a darn good motor, and I would really love to see it in a Ford USA product.
