The original Magnum was a coupe muscle car intended to replace the Charger. Interesting concept though - a "muscle estate"

blimey, now there's a contraction in design, build a tall SUV then cut and shut it, bizarre.......why do I like it so much though?

Unfortunately it looks too low for my German Shepherd to fit in the load area, otherwise ... no

not just the V8 either - Dc have said that the production version will use the mechanicals from the New E-Class so it will also be a very good car....

easy with the reply button there dans

I kinda hate to say it but I rather like this beast. If only the front end didn't look so truckish.

If you post the same message twice accidentally why not delete one of them afterwards?

Yes the grill is truckish. In flesh it must be looking pretty cool. I've been to Canada for about a year and found the RAM grill kinda American design masterpiece although on paper it looks slightly vulgar indeed.

What I want to know (in addition to whether it will actually show up in the showroom) is:
Can I pull a horse trailer with this thing? It look like a great replacement for an aging Yukon!
