Magnum sales are under 40,000/year.

thats honestly too bad.......of the charger, 300, and magnum, the magnum was easly the coolest. I dont care what anyone else says the charger in my opinion is just not the car it should have been. The 300 pretty much is exactly the same as the charger, just looks better. But the Magnum was soooooo cool. Ive driven all 3 of them and I'll tell you whenever I drove the black magnum i would always get compliments by the people stopped next to me or walking down the street. Way fun to drive too.

well after driving a pacifica......its easy to see why its getting cut. Honestly the Taurus X alone blows it out of the water. And im sure the Flex will too. But yea I agree about the Apsen....that truck is just a waste of space. Even loaded its still just a Durango.....which isnt a good thing

The Magnum was just an odd bird. Why go out of your way to spend money changing the front fascia and interior of what is effectively a Chrysler 300 wagon all in an effort to creat a 'unique' Dodge brand vehicle when the best chance for maximum sales potential would have been to sell it as a 300 wagon in the first place?

Really sorry to see the Magnum go. I just love ours, and quite honestly, it's probably the best car I have ever owned, and does alot of things very well.

Thats a lot of jobs to cut, but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

I never knew the magnum was having slow sales, too bad cause its such a cool car. As for the rest of them, i really cant believe they stuck around this long, especially the crossfire.

X2 I had a Magnum for a rental once. Very nifty and practical vehicle.

Put me down as happy to see the Magnum go. Admittedly I'm a bit anti-wagon to begin with, but after spending a week with a rented Magnum I was about a day from setting it on fire and urinating on the ashes. Sure, you could play a tennis match in the back, but it was about as enjoyable to drive as a Hearse witha fat corpse in the back.

I'm surprised too to see the Pacifica go. With the CUV market being so hot a redesign would be more beneficial than an entire new vehicle.
