I also just looked at the Dodge Magnum SRT-8.

425 HP, $40,000, and the best it can do is an estimated low 5 second 0-60.

Magnum front end, oldschool Chrysler (pre 300 of current fame) rearend. No manual, no 2 door, no interest from me.

Chrysler needs to quit dicking around and bring back a GOOD Challenger or Cuda named vehicle that is a competitor for the Mustang/GTO. 2 door, MANUAL transmission, Hemi powered with agressive/retro styling. They need to do an old namesake truely proud someday. I'm just waiting for the Neon to be renamed Valiant and the Sebring Convertable to be renamed as the Newport with the existing crapass attitude. What's next for Chrysler? A Caravan rebadge as a Ramcharger?

Every new dodge and chrysler car has basically the exact same dash too. You'd think they would try to make them a little more exciting. I guess that would cost too much though.

<-- the only one that thinks it looks good.

However, I agree. Its not a Charger unless if it has 2 doors and a manual...and power to back it up. 425 is good, but not for that weight...

funny, i was about to say that at least mercedes is influencing the interior so it's not the typical ugly looking domestic interior.
