4 door Mustang wagon??

Unlike Porsche, who seems to want a 4 door version of thier sportscar, Ford now wants a piece of that Dodge Magnum action... introducing a 4-door wagon version of the Mustang.

Booo.

I find the Dodge Magnum to be one of the most ridiculous-looking cars on the road. Daimler-Chrysler did an awesome job of marketing this hearse as a manly car, but it makes me want to shout "IT'S A STATION WAGON!"

You know its bad but I find the Magnum to be the poster child for why not to buy a dodge.

I think the Charger is sweet looking and much better looking than the Mustang.

Note I have no idea on performance, price or any specs on either, going by looks alone.

Not all the brand experts agree, however. Charlie Hughes, co-author of the book Branding Iron and keynote speaker at the upcoming AutoWeek Design Forum, thinks messing with Mustang may be a mistake.
Scary image by Radovan Varicak, knock off the drugs dude. :lol:

yep it's official...I have been in europe long enough to think the US cars are just wrong. The Audi wagon has them all beat, the BMW wagons even...oh the insanity.

Ever sit in or drive a Magnum? Like sitting in World War II tank with the narrow glass. Extremely difficult view out the back. Neighbor has one which he traded in his PT Cruiser for. Liked the Cruiser for visibility a lot better.

You need those to be sure you get all the bread and milk home when it starts to snow. (or for traction on the dirt road when taking your g/f out in the "mobile hotel")

Well, I've never driven a WWII tank, but we do have an AWD Magnum RT that I have put some miles on and it isn't a bad ride at all. I have used it for road trips and enjoyed it.
