Had a Magnum SXT as a rental this weekend

WOW. I'm even more impressed with the Magnum than I was with the 300. I
have zero reservations about the looks of the Magnum- I forgave the 300
its awkward front end because the rest of the car is so nice, but the
Magnum is just a beauty all-around. The one I've got is just a 3.5L SXT,
but it doesn't embarass itself. The quiet is amazing. I still want to
check out a Hemi, but this is a car I find that I could be quite happy
with even with only a 3.5. I can't imagine they'll sell many with the
2.7, though. The transmission shifts beautifully- I can't imagine why
they feel a need to put the Mercedes tranny behind the Hemi. It could
only be a step down.

When I first sat in the car, my initial reaction was that visibility was
going to be horrible. But it turns out to be far, far better than most
cars I've driven in the past 5 years. The rear windows are small, but
just perfectly placed. Very little in the way of a blind spot.

 

I found it interesting that there is nothing about the Magnum on dodge's
home page http://www.dodge.com but Magnum has its own page at
http://www.dodge.com/magnum

 

Try again! I think the homepage has been updated since you went there.

 

Which rental car company? I'd love to try a rental!

 

Dollar Rent-a-Car at LAX, believe it or not. It was a $7/day upgrade
from a F*rd Taurus... like I had to think twice about THAT The
rental was a low-rate deal booked through Travelocity, too, so the rate
was only about $25 per day. It was a screaming good deal.
