Yes, a Wagon. But no ordinary Wagon. Ladies and Gents, I introduce to you my latest desire, the '05 Dodge Magnum SXT AWD.
First, heres some pretty pictures from the Dodge website:
Alright so now that's done, let me tell you what makes me even consider a wagon.
First things first, I'm looking to buy the SXT AWD, which means an AWD car with a 3.5L V6. No, not the Hemi 5.7L V8 that is available. I can't afford that unfortunately. However the V6 still puts out a respectable 250 bhp with 250 lb/ft of torque. Factor in the AWD and it's got good spring for a 2-ton car. This is the same engine that goes into the second engine up for the Dodge Charger.
Second, the car I've found that I want to buy is fully loaded. All leather interior, heated leather seats, 8-point adjustable power seats, power windows and locks, tinted windows, keyless entry, remote engine start, 288 watt Boston Acoustic 6 speaker sound system with CD changer and AUX in, rear flip-down 7" LCD screen DVD entertainment center and AUX-IN ports (XBox anyone?), Traction Control, Stability Control, power sunroof / moonroof, 18" brushed aluminum rims, power adjustable pedals, telescoping adjustable steering wheel, autostick manumatic shifting, fog lights, heated mirrors, 72' cubic storage space, advanced dual stage front and passenger airbags, 5 star front and rear crash test ratings... you get the idea. Its pimped out.
And yes, I can afford it. AWD + snow tires + traction and stability control = no more Electro flying through 65 mph speed limit signs into the ditch. Having more than twice the horsepower I currently do also should keep my speed demons happy.
If / when I get it, I'll post the actual pics etc. Its not Hamma's Evo but it's certainly got a sense of luxury. Sitting in the back with the DVD entertainment center flipped down feels like riding in a limo.
Now all I need is a chaffeur...
