Dodge is planning to introduce its new Magnum at the Detroit auto
show in January 2004. Magnum will be initially available in rear-wheel
drive, with all-wheel drive available later.
The Magnum likely will come with a choice of a 3.5-liter V-6 and a
5.7-liter Hemi engine rated at 345 hp. A five-speed automatic with
semi-manual shifting will be standard. The body style will look somewhat
like a lowered Durango with two rows of seats and a moderate-sized rear
cargo area.
