    Question 300s vs Magnums

    It seems to me that I see 3 or 4 300s fer every Magnum around here. Does any body know what the sales figures are? Did the 300 really sell more than the Magnum?

    The numbers I've seen here are something like 2 to 1. In my area, it seems like 5 to 1.

    Somebody posted the numbers a week or so ago. I think it was 3-4 to 1. Not a surprise to anyone. Most people buy sedans, not station wagons. The Magnum is selling very well because of traditional wagon buyers and crossovers from the SUV people.

    here in East Tennessee, most women doesn't seem to like the Magnum, most perfer the 300..That may have a impact on sales

    Heres a thread I started with the numbers:

    Aha! -- some LX sales numbers...

    It is about (3) 300's to every Magnum.

    (So your eyes are right on the money: 3/1).

    Here in KY, I see about twenty 300's for every Magnum. Just not many around for some reason. I went to my dealer yesterday to check the status of my order for my new '06 Magnum and they had the same six '05 Magnums on the lot that they had 8 weeks ago when I placed my order. The salesman told me they haven't sold a Magnum in months. I've also been watching the lot of another local dealer and noticed that they, too, have about six '05's still on the lot for a while now. However, every time I turn a corner here I see another 300! Don't know why that is around here, but I'm glad that I'll have a unique car...at least unique locally!

    Its better than 10 to 1 pretty much everywhere I've been in CA. You see 300's everywhere all day long. If I see 1 Magnum in a day thats unusual.

    I agree, but there's something to be said for being different. A lot different :D

    Production numbers still show about 3 of the 300's to each Magnum built.

    Am I the only one in America who doesn't like the trend towards real high beltlines and chopped tops? I like tall greenhouses, low beltlines and good visibility.

    Too bad for you that the Ford 500 doesn't have a drivetrain.
