[B]Refined Exterior Enhancements[/B]
Design changes to the 2008 Dodge Magnum R/T, SXT and SE can be seen in the signature Dodge crosshair front grille which has been lowered and stretched horizontally to create a more aggressive look. Chrome elements added to the front fascia and grille and extra detailing around the fog lamps provide additional interest and refinement to the face of the new Magnum.
The Magnum R/T features optional Xenon high intensity discharge (HID) elements in the headlamps for greater visibility while adding a sophisticated, high-tech look to the exterior.
The hood of 2008 Dodge Magnum models features expressive accent lines that run from the leading edge towards the windshield, highlighting its muscular character and hinting at the power beneath.

what a quality PR. The first sentence was already enough to make me stop. We may ask Nota to write a letter to the Dodge PR staff and tell them how to improve...;)
Actually without entering to disucss the press release (most of all are actually bs anyway) I think the look of the car has improved with the facelift. It's a shame that engines stay the same and that the six cylinder engines will proabably still be offered with the 4-speed automatic.
wow, that hood says race inspired alright.
