Default New LX Wagon Picture

A picture of the new dodge wagon (Maybe called Magnum) is at

http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=00653923

Looks good to me, going to be like the Ram, a love it or hate it proposition. Though the hemi's going to produce 400hp, not the 300 stated in the article.
If the charger isn't clasic charger styling then i'd probably get this instead.

So whats everyone think?

I'll stick with my Ram, until they make a worth while RWD, to go go along side my Ram.

Please note, I said a WORTH WHILE RWD, not an ugly station wagon.

Default 'wagons are cool!

I think this one has potential. I can't wait until the German styling influences go away though. ( They will go away won't they?) Wagons have become very popular lately with the street machine crowd and the new car manufacturers are starting to crank out new models too.

I happen to like turning the steering wheel when I'm driving in the performance mode. In that respect Audi and BMW have some serious performers out there. I would love to be able to zip past one in a new Mopar wagon.(right now I have to do it in my '78, lol).

A wagon is only slightly better than a SUV in my book. Has to be a 2 dr and have more front and rear overhang. Dont like the chopped off look.

I'd like to see a new rear drive Dodge Intrepid wagon with choice of 4.7 and 5.7 litre V8's with the 3.5 HO V6 as standard.

Well this is the replaced for the intrepid, though i have heard the intrepid may be made on a stretched version of the upcoming stratus Galant platform. A new rumor that has surfaced is chrysler is working on a V6 version of the HEMI making 300hp. Thats not written in stone, but i think that would be great, a 300hp V6 and a 400hp HEMI. If this V6 is produced it is definitely going in the Dakotas and Rams.

All of the LH cars are going to become LX cars. The Intrepid WILL become and LX with RWD. They've already stated that the aluminum block 5.7l Hemi will be an option. Most likely in the Intrepid Charger trim.
