It fits the void left by the no-longer-in-vogue-H2 for the vapid and self-indulgent crowd that wants to show off their small-dick compensators perfectly. 1000X worse than anyone I've ever seen in a P-car. In that sense (targeting a growing audience), Dodge is successful. Take another "same old" formula you've used for years (big, dumb, heavy), put a few "tough" looking lines on it and give it some mean looking headlights (largely ripped off from BMW) and you'll sell millions without having to work too hard at it. Brilliant!
Next they should paint sharks' teeth on the front ends to complete the "tough guy" look. They'd sell even more.
God, it must be easy to be a car designer at Dodge these days. Easy money.

Wow. I just thought the car--either the original or the remake--looked pretty good (particularly in orange, or if they would be willing to repeat the Sublime color). And with a sonorous and lusty V8, to boot. What's not to like about that? Didn't realize that that necessarily was some sort of social statement intended by all who would purchase such a vehicle.
At the same time, my sister (who's no car person, but at least is a stylish architect, like you
) has noticed that Magnum owners fit your overaggressive driver stereotype.
