Hands up if you love Nik. I do man. I am going to totally buy a Dodge now. As soon as you said TopGear hated it, you closed the deal for me! I hate those guys.
I wish you could have been there when I widdled this list down. I thought about the Lancer. But, all that kept coming to mind was standing outside a 7/11 with a bunch of 20-something's talking about what kind of muffler system and cold-air intake I was running. I have a pretty car-loving posse I hang out with at home and they would laugh their asses off if I rolled up in an EVO. I'd lose all the street cred I have built up over the years! LOL
"Look, it's Fawcett in a ricer!" Never happen.
Tick, thanks for the vote my friend. The Magnum is quite a statement and that's why it tops my list along with the Charger and 300. My Grandpa and father have been long-time Mopar fans so they obviously hold a place in my heart. The '08 model year is the last for the Magnum so you are right, this is not going to be a very common car. Makes me think it might be better to buy one and keep it as a display-only model!
If all you want is performance and 4WD
I want a lot of things, but above all I want a car that is fun and looks good on me. That's all. Doesn't have to be the best car on the road. Just a helluva lot of fun.
But what's the point when the speed limit is 70?
The point is, there is no point. If I wanted a point I'd buy a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry!
