Man.. it really bugs me that they don't make the Magnum anymore. By far the best of the LX platform

Might slot the Challenger slightly above it for myself at least, but yeah, the thought of a Magnum SRT-8 to haul around 1-y.o. junior is a captivating thought.

Excuse my, I think I need to clean myself up a bit, and go buy a lottery ticket in anticipation/hope of this beast coming Stateside.

It's a great car, but its really an expensive one. 77,000 euros or $98,000.

This might be a better buy ...

Yeah, that Caddy CTS-V wagon is a stunner, comes with a STICK SHIFT too! Incredible.

Always have/had a softspot for SAABS. My wife used to have a 1991 9000 Turbo which was a fantastic car -- did everthing well -- Saab simply should have kept making them. Shame about the last 9-5 as that seemed like a really nice car but not in time to save SAAB itself.

Yeah the Challenger definitely has the edge in traditional muscle car-ness but man.. I have never lusted for any other Dodge as much as the Magnum

Subjective. I would say the charger had a better nose, but thats it.

The magnum by far and away has the better profile and ***. When I see one drive past I always feel a pang of sadness that I don't have one. The same does not hold true for the rest of Dodge's offerings (at least, in my opinion)

I just wish they had kept on making it and refreshed it along with the rest of the range. Sigh

The name "magnum" just makes me laugh every time I see one.

Audi has always had the best wagons IMO. The E63 wagon and CTS-V are sick too though. All the Audi S and RS series cars are supposed to be making their way to the US market in the near future.

drooooool @ the RS4! out of all the euros, have always adored the audi wagons, then the MBZ, then BMW, and all else. (ooops forgot about the new XF wagon, hot)

i too also wish the dodge magnum was still around.
