I think it has to do with the fact you called someone else dumb, while misspelling half the sentence......

I feel the need to chime in on the cross-company slamfest.

I drove a SRT8 Magnum for 4 years. I loved that car. It was an absolute monster with just bolt-ons and a tune. Consitent mid-12's in the quarter in Texas....which means there was plenty of heat and a high DA. The problem with Dodge is their business sense. They are just way out there on a lot of things. I remember seeing 2 commercials for the Magnum when it first released and I fell in love with it. Owned a black RT then traded up to a red SRT8 when I was finally able to get my hands on it. Then all the commercials stopped. No talk whatsoever. And SRT advertisement?? Ha! I still haven't seen any of that. So in the end, Dodge scrapped the Magnum...and the following year Mercedes, BMW, and Cadillac all released sport wagons and sold them well.

The value of Dodges plummets so fast that it is hard to make the investment in another one. That is one of the main reasons I went over to the Camaro. And because the Camaro looks like a serial killer stalking dark streets. Just sick...

A couple things. First i agree on the advertising, but disagree that would have saved the Magnum. As a country we really don't buy wagons. In fact I would say it has been 10 years plus since this country has really had any interest in wagons. Remember when there were taurus, Camry, Accord, Celebrity, Caprice, etc, etc, wagons on the road? Well, the interest just isn't there anymore. that is why the a new Durango was a MUCH better investment than a new Magnum. Also, while the CTS, E class, etc is available in wagons, they can be and survive on the low volumes they sell at (maybe 1-2k a year in the US? As for resale value, I don't exactly see GM cars having great resale value, infact it is just the opposite. The Camaro (and for Dodge the Challenger) is the exception, not the rule.

Really like the new chargers and really can't wait to see the srt8 in person. So many people R calling it ugly and a rip off of the evo, completely agree with the second part. I really do like dodges transformation. It's new, modern, and AWD. May also include that I will never get rid of my camaro, the ss is an awesome birth of Chevys modern muscle car. To sum it all up though it is a stretched out evo, but with the challenger to compete with the 5.0 and ss, dodge did need to change their competition for the charger.

formula 1 is not real racing.


Nascar, now that is a man's sport (this coming from a non american!!)

Chrysler only moved several hundred SRT8 Chargers last year, just random note.
