Car Sight

The 2008 Dodge Magnum, which was first introduced in 2005, sits on a Mercedes-Benz designed chassis and suspension. The lines of the magnum resemble the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300, but its roofline is more tapered and sloping to give it a look of its own. The exterior has a new grille and more chrome. There are new fog lamps, and the hood shape has also changed to a longer more angular look. The overall appearance of the Magnum is 21st century all the way.

There are a couple of Magnum models to choice from. The all wheel drive, four speed automatic transmission, 2.7 liter, 190 horsepower V-6 or the 3.5 liter, 250 horsepower, V-6 which is available on the SXT model. That model can come with or without all wheel drive. On the basic SE model anti-lock brakes are optional and the electronic security control is optional, but both are standards on the other models. All around airbags are optional. Other standard features include LED lighting in the cup holder area, AM/FM/CD with MP3 hook-up capabilities. Other options are: a filter for interior air flow, heated front seats, dual climate control and a rear view mirror with auto dimming. Crash test results were good according to the government testing
