The 2005-2008 delivers 38% power to the front and 62% to he rear. So while you can't do a burnout, you can get the rear end to come around if you floor it on a very slick surface.

Huh. Not quite the optimal setup I thought it was, but still handy.

Yes, but I'd like to see either a Chip Foose (Overhaulin) or a Ryan Friedlinghaus (West Coast Customs) custom limited edtion. That would be bad-ass.

I saw one at a dealership today. Was a pretty Red 05... Thoughts of a wagon raced through my mind.

Who agrees the Magnum should be brought back?

I cant believe they got rid of it and replaced it with the Journey
Dodge is known for fly by night models. The Magnum was just a big powerful redesigned station wagon really. If they brought it back I'd like to see an AWD model. That would make it all around a pretty deverse auto.

Why not just make the Magnum an option on the Chargers? Have a Dodge Charger Magnum Wagon.

There are some great photoshops on lxforums on what the next gen Magnum should look like.

These are my favs

Its sad b/c its one of those vehicles that people said "oh if they make it I will buy it" and they made it and these same people came up with every excuse not to buy it.

They should bring it back, it was a masculine kick ass wagon.

I think they could bring the Magnum back if they upgraded the interior to compete in the near-luxury category. As the Panamera has demonstrated, upscale hatchbacks are hot, as long as the cars are designed as fastbacks instead of portly hearse-like station wagons. Audi says they're going to bring their A7 hatch here this yr and Mercedes recently announced a CLS "Shooting Star" hatch. But these luxo-wagons are priced for high-rollers. The American market may be receptive to a similar kind of car priced under $40k. Or this could all be wishful thinking.

Agree!
