The partnership of Daimler-Benz and Chrysler is still being felt today, with the Charger, Challenger, and Durango all still employing old Mercedes engineering in their 2022 models. But take a trip back to the mid-2000's and we were just seeing glimpses of what was to come from this short-lived marriage of brands.
Dodge took their HEMI V8, stuffed in an Americanized E Class wagon and sold it here as the Magnum SRT8. With only a handful ever produced, it was a rare sign of the Hellcat craze that was to come, but if it were not for crazy wagons like this, the Hellcat may never have been...
Does the wagon style work for you? Let us know in the comments below.

Got one of these 2006 Magnum SRT8. Love this wagon. Circle is for Hemisphere. True MOPAR fans would know that.

@GTGarageTalk Год назад

May be a fun easter egg, just does not translate in the design.

@ericdishington428 Год назад

I own one. You can sleep in it the night before a track day! This car performed and handled beyond my expectations at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton WA with Hooked on Driving. When I showed up, they said, "Nice Gangster car". Supposedly drug dealers in Oakland CA liked these wagons - Fast and big drug runners. Lol. I wonder how much Crack you could fit in it? This wagon is a keeper!

Bro, the circular theme is based on the same circular theme that every other car has uniquely implemented over the last 130 years. It’s called a “wheel”, and it’s this crazy shape known as “round” and that shape simulates constantly falling down an incline, which allows forward movement, and it’s been all the rage in the civilized world for several thousand years. That panel by the left knee is an indicator of the shared platform with the 300 and Charger. It’s a spot for a remote trunk release.

I have an 06 SXT, personally i love everything, considering it had 202K miles when i bought it almost a year ago, it's the nicest car I've ever owned. I can agree the steering wheel is a little less than desired, but honestly. I don't really care about aesthetics, I prefer performance and comfort over everything else. On mine the clearcoat is falling off the cigarette lighter doesn't work, but it handles like a dream on curvy roads. It's not a V8 or hemi, but it is no slouch with the 3.5L V6 and just feels solid. I would love to see a modern magnum, with a twin turbo inline 6 and see what it could really do. BTW i paid $1900 for mine and replaced the windshield ($350.00) and do not regret it

@GTGarageTalk 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like a fun car! Enjoy it!!!

@adamphynes7342 3 месяца назад

Has it been reliable, other than the cigarette lighter issue, which wouldn’t bother me (unless there was no other way to charge a phone)? I rented one years ago, & loved it. Couldn’t afford one then, but can now. I rented an r/t, & can still remember the fun I had. Finding one though, will be hard, since obviously it’s a very rare gem of a vehicle.

It’s a beautiful car with great fun . My SRT put the Mustangs and Camaros of the same year to Shame . Odd how you complain about the plastic, yet the Corvette and all other cars were the same at that time.

@GTGarageTalk 8 месяцев назад

True. I’m spoiled with new stuff.

@rashidleftridge7464 4 месяца назад

I my self own an r/t and I have driven the SRT8 and I believe your assessment of the handling is incorrect but I will say that it has room for improvement and can be improved upon….Asside from the that you are spot on everything else

@Horrible_Deplorable Год назад

It was ahead of it's time, sure. But it was kind of a design flaw from the beginning. If I buy a wagon, I'm doing so for the storage space in the back. The shape basically limits the usability of that space. Edit: I'd still buy one tho because I love wagons.

@GTGarageTalk Год назад

If they made something like it today, raised it an inch and called it an SUV, it would sell like hot cakes. The trend now is SUV coupes. We are driving one now in the Audi Q4 Sportback. Same concept, sportier look but limited space for stuff. If you want to have cargo room, just get the Q4 (non Sportback)

@Horrible_Deplorable Год назад

@@GTGarageTalk It probably would, too. Haha Yeah, they're pretty slick but I'm partial to my antique car. It's unfortunately not a wagon, tho.

@keymstr10 2 месяца назад

My daily driver is the 5.7 Hemi'ed R/T Magnum for the last 5 years. It's my favorite car, big, roomy, has great get up and go, since I did a Predator tune, Corsa Cat back exhaust, and a cold air intake , so I get better performance, but I've been shopping for the SRT8 and they are hard to find within 500 miles of me. I can't buy anything I haven't touched and tire kicked. The thing about this review is he keeps negatively commenting on the interior like he is thinking why isn't in modern like today's vehicle. It was the mid 2000's, I got tired of the video half way through it...

@kentgrady9226 6 месяцев назад

Like what you like, don't like what you don't. For my money, complaining about the interior "not feeling special", is a bit silly - unless the car is specifically meant to be chauffeur-driven (S-class, Maybach, Rolls, Bentley, etc). Are the seats comfortable? Check. Does the switch gear work properly? Check. Does the stereo bang? Check. Does the car look, sound, and drive awesome? Check, check, and check. I'll take it, thank you. A bit of plastic doesn't bother me at all.

Fair points. Thanks for watching.

@adamphynes7342 3 месяца назад

Loved this thing as if it were my child. I just wish I had the money back then to buy one. I love wagons. My family had at least 2, & I had a Passat Wagon, Rented an r/t pre-revised Magnum, & I had a ball with it for a few days, while my Subaru Outback was in the shop. For what it was, it was an awesome car. Hoping I can get one now.
