what's everyones thougts on the new Dodge? I don't know about owning one, but I'd like to take one for a spin.

[Kdawg207]

on appearance

Don't know much about the performance

[hotgt]

i kinda like it, they are makin a sedan version (called Charger, i think) i'd drive one





on a side note...the very first Dodge Magnum R/T to be sold...was a red one sold to Carmello Anthony, i read it in Dub Magazine...he's already got rims on it and everything

[thehemi]

I think it is pretty sweet. I love wagons and HEMIs.

[Orange Fusion]

I like it and its Chrysler sibling (300 C).

They're a little too blunt in the front end, but I like the overall appearance and the fact that they are RWD.

[PACE]

My neighbor has one. They are teh hotness! Look mean as hell in person and have 0 wheel gap.......and do I need to mention HeMi ?

[GreatGraySkwid]

They'd look awesome in a Midnight Blue Metallic, or something like that.

[RAMAIRGT1]

I tried out a red one at the dealer i bought my ram at, that hemi is nice, but i hate the looks of it, i also tried out the 300C and fell in love, next year the 6.1 Hemi V8 will be comming out with close to 400hp, watch out! I might trade the ram for a new one

[Crisco]

Hemi!

[badassgrandam99]

Hemi or not, it's fockin ugly... don't like the looks of the Chrysler 300 either... what's with car companies giving cars a boxy look again?? ...the friggin 300 looks like what the '77 Dodge Dimplomat would be if it evolved... not feelin it at all...

[jazzman]

I love it, it reminds me of a vintage nomad wagon. It is teh hottnesssss!

[wade walter]

would rock it with some 20's and 295's in back, and that's the only way.

[jake3217]

Looks a little akward

Those who are used to and are expecting curves,a round design, and are not open to something different from the usual willhate it. As is the case with badassgrandam99. With that said, I love it. The car looks great and Chrysler did a real nice job on the designs. It's different. But it works. When my dad goes for his 300C, i'm going to make sure to test drive it after he does!

And yep, a 6.1 L Hemi is coming for the SRT-8 versions. I believe the SRT-8 Magnum/Charger will have an aggressive appearance package. Like different headlights and tails. Could be wrong though. Close to 400hp!!! Chrysler is doing everything right. These beasts will fly. Now that's what I like, options.

Gas is over 2 dollars per gallon.

Other than that... nice vehicle. I'd buy one. I could see mydelf driving a black one with some loud pipes on it. GM should take notes if they ever want to step back in the performance for the $$ game. Dodge sure is getting their **** together.

[VTECSiGAH8R]

Sloping rear wagon and nasty grill make me want to throw up. Thankfully the Hemi is my Pepto-Bismol ...still wouldn't want to pay almost $30,000 just to own a car w/ a Hemi unless it looks decent too.

Unfortunately Dodge feels they need to shove the same Magnum add down your throat every 5 seconds on TV....is it just me or have they found the most annoying combination of 9 notes to play in the history of Earth at the end of every Dodge commerical?? And of course the obligatory "hooough" grunt at the end .

Almost makes me as mad at the commercials as I was at the "zoom zoom" kid for Mazda, but I think he's impossible to top.

The good thing for them is that "you" at least know about the product.

GM whines that no one bought Camaro's so they killed the line.

I personally cannot recall any TV ad for a Camaro or Trans Am. It's all about the markteing.

Very true, but there is a point where your company needs to put out a wider variety of commercials.

I'd say the GTO had probably the best ad campaign I can think of in recent times. The first commercial was just a bunch of smoke everywhere, I think in the Super Bowl (great place to start a campaign), and everyone is like "wtf is this crap?" Then you see the tire spinning and hear the roar of the engine and it says "It's coming." To me stuff like that is brilliant.

Then they made another commercial with excellent music that's from "Mars," a famous classical song with an excellent "mean" tone to it, and they show the engine being carved out of aluminum and being assembled, while they describe it and then show the car. They mixed these ads around many channels and kinda loosely played the ads, and it was also featured in other generic pontiac commercials. That's the best way to do it IMO.

When the RSX-S first came out, they had one with the sound of the engine in the backround revving smoothly to 8,000 as the guy carved through mountain roads. Then they made other commercials and didn't play out the first one.

The main thing is, diversify you damn ad campaigns or people will start to connect the car to what ****es them off unless the car is a damn good steal, which I think only the SRT-4 or SVT Cobra are right now anyway.

Yeah those are EXTREMELY annoying. Didn't see them as much tho, I guess it's cuz I have to watch the NBA playoffs on TNT and I'm guessing their only advertiser is Dodge or something??
