2005 Dodge Magnum R/T

The days of the good old American cars are making a huge comeback. This means that rear-wheel drive platforms and big V8 engines will soon reappear and become commonplace. The 2005 Dodge Magnum is the wagon version of the popular 300 sedans from Chrysler, which replaces the Dodge Intrepid and Chrysler Concorde. The Magnum is a modern reproduction of the American family hauler of yore but with heavy German influence; Mercedes and Chrysler are one after all. The 1996 to 2002 Mercedes E-Class chassis serves as the basis for these cars. This is not the first nor will it be the last Chrysler that inherits Mercedes hand-me-downs. This may sound harsh but it really is not a bad thing as the Crossfire, 300 and Magnum have shown to be quite the driver's cars. The tester is a Magnum R/T, and unmistakably, is equipped with the Hemi. The price range for the Magnum is between 27 995$ and 48 500$. The tested rear-wheel drive R/T retails for 42 700$.
