I've even seen a Magnum with a 300c clip on the front around here... it was pretty trippy to see at first.

You really must not get out much; I see at least 3 or 4 on my way to work EVERY DAY.

I could see that easily. The 300C is basically the true "magnum coupe" as the charger has drastically different styling from both of its sisters. The 300C front end would fit very easily on the magnum.

It also could have been a European version, as their 'magnum' was quite 300C looking.
I would love an R/T AWD Magnum for the winter.

That G8 sport truck version posted above looks horrible I guarantee that won't sell well here, I'll even bet on it

The wagon meh maybe but even still I'd just stick with the original G8 sedan a wagon will probably bomb too just like Bob said I rarely see a magnum on the road...anyone that believes different explain to me why Dodge is axing the magnum after 2008

Same here, but then again anything that is on MTV will w/o a doubt will be copied around here.

Yeah, the same 3 or 4.

You people trying to be so focking smart saying "I see them all the time"... need to take a look at sales. Magnum's haven't sold, and they aren't "all around" regardless of the few you guys continually see.

I bet if I go to Los Angeles I'll see a lot of Ferrari's, Lambos, and Porsches. Does that mean they are "all around" the U.S. just as much too???

Keep up the excuses folks, they're fun to read.

SilverEcstasy · 12-01-2007, 07:40 PM

I've really been keeping my eyes open on the Evo X. It's got alot of sophisticated options and drivetrain. It also has a price tag of $33+ they're expecting, between the GSR and the MR edition.

If someone were looking for a practical yet fast sedan, and don't feel like spending that much, 400hp and luxury can be had for $29k?? Why not imo?

Cormaster · 12-02-2007, 01:06 AM

The G8 will rock just because if anything its a caddilac for under 40k. nuff said

...anyway back on topic

SilverEcstasy · 01-28-2008, 08:41 PM

Got back from the auto show real recently...and I gotta say i'm extremely disappointed.

Not from the show in general, because it wasn't as lively or entertaining as last years (other than the Malibu, GT-R, Evo, STI). The G8 felt like an upgraded G6 on the inside. What a cheap ass interior! The GTO was built WAY freakin better. Pontiac really cheaped out on this car this time. I would have rather they spent a couple more grand and made the interior better. But even a rep had said they really spent alot of time and money on the engine and chassis. I even spoke with a rep from Holden who was a customer of mine and they even commented on suspension and chassis performance. But MAN does it suck on the inside...not looking forward to driving it, and no one is in the market for a poor-man's CTS-V.

SSRacer · 01-29-2008, 06:43 AM

Anybody watch the 24hrs at Daytona? They had a G8 as the pace car.
