Re: Dodge Magnum R/T
The wife and I test drove one Saturday. She is also interested in the new Chrysler 300....Sweeeet! The price is right on both, but we had negotiation issues, and bank is wanting more interest than Diemler does!! go figure.<br />The Magnum's HEMI is built around Diemler's MDS (Multi Displacment System), is a lot like Caddy's 4/6/8 technology, only better. The power ranges are seamless,and you can only tell by the exaust note, and that is barely noticable on the new car.<br />But they claim an increase in fuel economy from 5 to 20%, based upon driving habits, and where you drive (city,probably 5%,interstate, probly 20%).<br /><br />All I can say is WOW! The beasty is like a glass slipper,until you nail the gas pedal,when it plants you like a bowling ball!<br />It corners like a Vette station wagon (I know they never made one, but for description purposes only, let's pretend). It has much more top to deal with---I would not press the issue, without fear...It doesn't dip, or give any warning, but you know the wieght is up there.<br />And I didn't rag on the loaner.<br />The 300 was a rolling easy chair with onions!<br />I think she is leaning toward the 300roller skate.<br />But now, I want to trade my Ram1500 for the Magnum..sniff-drool-sniff.
