No longer produced, but still dear in our hearts and always missed, the Dodge Magnum was (and still is) the ultimate full size muscle wagon.
So now that we know what the Next Gen Charger and 300 look like. What would a Next Gen Magnum look like?
Photoshoppers, get your virtual brushes out and post what you think a theoretical next gen Magnum would look like. After a certain amount of time, we'll have a poll on who's version looks the best and post it on the homepage for the world to see.
I love my Maggie, but what they did to the 300c scurrs me on what they will do to the maggie... but they did do us good with the charger, so there is some hope... We'll see.
I think someone should modify their magnum to look like what they think a new magnum would look like, and see how many people they have ask if it's a 2011
The Magnum's styling and all around character built in to the car is absolutely timeless....timeless! IF it was to be made again...they can not change overall design of the roof line and ass end of the car. It has been shown by many in real life and pictures that you can take any front clip...300, Charger and Challenger(from image above) and the car will still be the coolest looking wagon no matter what happens to the front.
I agree; what makes that rendition of the Avenger interesting is shifting the wheels to the rear (more front overhang, less rear, less rear quarter window). There appears to be more windshield rake, but actually there's not. Changes the magnum look in a good way.
I have pondered the overall shape of the Magnum for a long time, I can't come up with any sectioning/lowering/shaving/stretching/smoothing/etc that would dramatically increase emotion to what's already been hammered out.
None-the-less...I'm curious what DCX had in their files as to other possible shapes that might have been in the running at the time.
There a few more mods I'll do on mine to make it more homogeneous; an aluminum section will be added to the lower liftgate where it notch's into the bumper cover (to smooth it), I might change the mirrors again, install the (flush) Charger door handles...then it's pretty well done for me exterior-wise.
Very difficult to improve on such a unique shape to begin with...
I disagree; out of all the possible partners, FIAT will make for some interesting a noteworthy alliances and resulting designs. Are you aware what else FIAT owns?

I took the "Avenger" style concept and made a few alterations. I pushed the front wheels forward, pulled the nose in... making it a rear wheel drive, then extended the rear end a bit to balance the "visuals" and provide some extra space behind the back seat.
Well, I found I couldn't stay away from this one even though I wanted too lol. Pretty challenging to say the least, but here's what I came up with...chopping everything that Chrysler has already had at one point in time.
