2.7 in a magnum? are you serious? sheesh..talk about underpowered...

If your dead set on the magnum get a 3.5 Atleast. I have a Chrysler 300 3.5 and that feels slow.

The 2.7 is for African American females between the ages of 19-25 to put on lease and slap 22s and be slow as balls then eventually get repod due to nonpayment.

the 3.5 is solid I guess, but all the people I know with the V6 said they'd rather have the hemi if gas wasn't such a *****.

i like the looks and that its a stationwagon. and with the way gas is im not worried about it being fast, and later on down the road, some 20s would be nice. and my gf is african american between that age and shell be driving it as well.

im not necessarily buying it to be fast, i like the looks of it.

I dont think he is accurate on that. I drove a Grand Cherokee V6 with factory wheels which weighs the same as a Hemi Magnum and the most I averaged was 14.5 mpg on the highway.

I know I rented one and it was slow as hell. Oh and terrible resale value. But if all you want is the looks, I guess its somethin.

Thats why you never buy a vehicle new because it will depreciate like crazy as soon as you leave the lot..My cousin bought a 2007 Tahoe brand new for $43000 now I see them for $22000 in just one year it came down that much. Buy used FTMFW..

i've been looking into getting one for a little bit now...

there's really no point in getting the 2.7... your gaining like 1 mpg and loosing 75 hp. i couldn't deal with a 2 ton 180hp vehicle... starting to sound like the 80's all over again.
