Essentially a wagon variant of the Dodge Charger sedan, the 2008 Magnum stands out from other sedans and SUVs for its rear-wheel-drive layout, and powerful V8s bringing muscle-car performance. The Charger is also quite practical, though, with a smooth ride, a very roomy back seat, and a flexible layout good for large cargo-space needs. It also has decent fuel-efficiency on V8 models due to the included Multi-Displacement System (MDS), which can temporarily shut down half of the engine's cylinders when they're not needed. The SRT8 model is in a higher league as a bona fide performance model, with acceleration and braking times that are competitive with some of the top sport models from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi-not all of which are available as wagons.
