Just bring this back, Dodge. You already had an R/T AWD in 2014. Don’t even want the 6.4 (bonus!), just the 3.6/ 5.7 RWD/AWD is enough

Kinja'd!!!

Given its size it is a perfect alternative to a 5 seater Crossover.

If only they sold one with a clutch pedal, AWD and a V8.

First teo, sure. The Bugatti removes what makes it a Bugatti.

The Bugatti is somehow worse...I will say the F-type looks pretty good though

One can dream. Your choice of Transmission/Driven wheels/Engine Type/Body Style

You can only choose 3, and even that is rare these days.

Ended up with an outback XT instead of a AWD magnum,...because back then at least Subaru put manuals in things other than WRXs and it turns out a 4 banger with a turbo keeps up pretty well with the v8s.

Right. But the Durango pretty much filled the Magnum role sadly.

Some rich douche in Dubai probably has one already.

I still don’t know why they killed the Magnum.

They'd have hellcated it by now.

Because people don’t buy wagons unless they are deceivingly tall. Hence the Durango filling the Magnums role sadly.

The wheel flares look 10x better than what FCA is putting on the widebody Challengers.

Capacity issues at Brampton. They couldn't build more than three models on the same line, so the Magnum had to go to make room for the Challenger.

The Magnum with a 11-14 Charger nose on it is one of the sexiest things I’ve seen. If Dodge chose to bring the Magnum back with a nose like that I would run straight to my nearest dealer and trade in my 2006 Magnum.

This just reminded me how much I hate the Edge ST. I keep seeing commercials for it: “When you want a sports car but you need to buy things” while showing a couple trying to shove a wicker chair into a Mustang’s trunk.

If they gave the Mustang a liftback instead of a tiny trunk lid, it would be a hell of a lot more useful! It’s not a new concept either!

I hate those damn commercials because Ford is trying to get sports car buyers to buy something they don’t want, while failing to realize that: the people buying sports cars aren’t worried about hauling things because they either have a second car or are too young to care about such things and the people that are hauling things don’t want something fast. Idiots.

Seems a bit premature seeing as we’re only seeing the rear quarter view, but okay...

The concept is sound: “It’s a crossover that isn’t boring to drive!”, and the execution seems acceptable from reviews I’ve seen, but the marketing is just all kinds of awful on all levels (including the trim name).

Using the “ST” name is just a blatant attempt to cash in on the FoST and FiST’s popularity. No current ST owners are going to go for the Edge unless they were already willing to give up the hot hatch for a larger and far more expensive vehicle.

The clips in the commercials showing the “sports cars” not having enough room are both making the showing the people who bought Mustangs as total idiots (This chair won’t fit?) and exaggerating the Mustang’s lack of utility (4 people can’t sit inside?). Why not attempt to tank the Mustang’s sales even more?

And then that slogan “... you need to buy things”. Way to pander to American’s consumerism! Forget about having 4 doors and a large back seat, you need to get that ugly-ass wicker chair home! Then you can go to another store!
