What does anyone think about the Dodge Magnum, a classy low slung ride with power and room for guns and dogs? Out of production and a cult vehicle of the future.

Look at Ford Flex AWD. Don't know much about them but everyone loves them.
So many guns, so little time!

It's just me, but I wonder about car based AWD cross over type vehicles. They just seem to rattle apart on gravel roads and routine washboards. The nicer interior trim doesn't seem to soak up much muck. They start off looking and driving nice, but as a replacement for what a truck used to do?

I bought a 2002 VW Passat wagon with all wheel drive and an 300 hp 8 cylinder in the W8 configuration. Only VW built on the Audi A6 platform at the time. Would carry my gear and dogs, go anywhere subject to ground clearance, had leather seats so cleaned up easily, topped it out at 250 kph (155 mph) going to the hunting lodge one day and was one of the best cars I've ever owned for eating up hwy miles. Loved it! Ex still has it.

I just put a Weathertech trunk mat in my new to me Infiniti M37 sedan. It is my weekend fishing vehicle. If I had dogs, I would have gotten a used FX35 with 4 wheel drive (has a smoking V8 version as well). In this day and age, you can have the best of all worlds

With regards the Magnum wagon, well, They have a Dodge interior. So, that's a hindrance for me.
I attended the NAIAS in Detroit last Friday, and I've seen all the iddy biddy cross overs I can stand. They aren't for me.
The only break out SUV I saw was the new GM Traverse. A little wider, more spacious, but down sized from a Tahoe or Envoy. The UpCountry trim package was pretty great, but the 3rd row seating was stupid.
The BMW Mi8 will have to wait.

I don't have a "brake" ..... I have a hunting rig. It is a '87 Jeep Wrangler with 12.50 x 35 tires, a swapped in 350 c.i. Chevy small block with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4 bbl. carb, a TH350 Chevy tranny and Dana transfer case, 4.56 effective gear ratio and a Warn 8000# front winch. It has done everything I have needed it to for 8-10 years now, with only minor maintenance. It's a "hoss". Rear view about 8 years ago, when had it wrapped in Max 4HD.  Oh yeah ........ I've got $4000 in it. SRH
