NMNA but I am excited to see these getting cheap.

I really want one of those. I remember when i saw the prototype on the Dodge stand at the Detroit auto show. I was stunned. It was a wagon, but sexy!

I like them too. Too bad they are dodges. I have to stick with Audi and BMW and maybe Saab and Volvo for the sport wagon idea.

Holy cow man. Are you a glutton for punishment? Well, at least with the Audi.

Yea, push rods are crazy

I've owned many Audi and all have been great. The old 5 cylinders are almost indestructible and take forced induction really well. The old pikes peak cars were hear 1100 bop out of a 2.2 ltr.

I test drove a then-new hemi magnum in 05. It was a much larger car than I wanted, but I was actually much more impressed than I though I'd be. Handling felt good for what it was and it had enough power to be entertaining. I imagine the SRT version would be even better, but, yeah, Dodge quality....

Oh, ok. So we're comparing apples and oranges then. Ok.
I would NOT want a modern Audi for more than 5 days since that's how long you typically have between electrical failures.

I have always loved them.

I recently drove one, and was disappointed.

It had good power, and handled well. But in typical Dodge fashion, it just felt awkward. The seats were unsupportive, and seemed to lean at a funny angle no matter how I adjusted them. I also felt like I had to duck to see out the windshield.

Ergonomics. Dodge has never seemed to understand that no matter how cool the design, sooner or later you are gonna have to fit people inside.

They still catch my eye every time I see one, but I won't own one.
