The full meaning of this review cannot be fully understood without knowing a little about the guy writing the review. Think of him being something as a mix between lemming, TD, JST and me.

I must go drive one.

Big suprise that the V8 feels so great to a guy with a WRX. :roll:


:D

What a disturbing thought--he must just sit on his porch all day waving his cane at people and dreaming of Saabs and VWs with really big, gigantic V8 engines.

I dig both the 300C and the Magnum immensely. I want to drive either/both. The missing pieces for both are a manual transmission and the ability to fully disable the DSC equivalent--maybe the planned R/T versions will address both of these shortcomings.

I saw the Monster Garage where they turned a Magnum into a rail car, and the side exit straight pipes were truly outstanding.

I really liked the Magnum until I started seeing it in person. Something about the design just doesn't look right to me...it's too squished looking.

No, bren...remember the theory of relativity...it just looks squished vertically because it's going so fast that it appears stretched horizontally.

Oohh

So is that DC's answer to "flame surfacing" ? :D

My youngest brother is cross-shopping the 300 and the Magnum currently. Being a mash-it-and-go kind of guy, he is not largely concerned with steering braking, etc. That said, he liked the Hemi 300 a lot, but has not yet driven the Magnum.

I don't see myself buying a Magnum but it is certainly an interesting car.

I like the Magnum a lot, and the styling looks even better to me in person than it does in photos. I love the high sills and slit-like windows, which gives the car a low-slung "chopped" appearance without sacrificing interior room. It's really freaking cool, and it's also nice and fast. If it ever becomes available with a six-speed, it will be on the short list. (Seven years from now.)

Magnum; making it cool to drive a station wagon.
