Our 2006 Magnum R/T is a 5.7 Hemi, we have had it for a couple of years and absolutely love it. The 2.7 cars aren't rated near as favorable as the 3.5 SXT.

Don't waste your time w/ the 2.7 v6 maggies,the 3.5 is decent and the 5.7s can pull down decent mileage and are a blast to drive ,D.

My thoughts simple... if a charger front end will bolt on it would look great, I think the front end on them looks kinda goofy. All that said however I have been considering tradeing my cuda for one for my wife if I can find someone willing that has a decent one with a 5.7 2wd.

I bought a low mileage 2007 Magnum 3.5 SXT because the 2008 3.5 SXT no longer has the "Mercedes" Auto stick transmission. I found 2.7 version underpowered. I'm getting about 26 MPG on the Hwy and enjoy the big car ride. Personnaly I wish Chrysler had invested in reducing road noise. It seems to mainly come from the Good Year tires and I find it annoying at times. In my opinion the Magnum Wagons $ for $ are a good buy.

so i went to my local dealers to today to look at some of the cars they had in stock...lets just say they were not friendly to deal with...and would not provide me with a written copy of the certified pre-owned warantee details...i am going to call chrysler and complain.
that being said i still really want one BAD...i think i am going to play the waiting game and try to find a used 2008 SRT8.
thanks all for the input
