    Neon dead, new rubbish car as replacement. Apparently.

    American journalists are just as talentless as British ones when it comes to the art of forming actual sentances.

    From "The Detroit News Auto Insider":

    The small car never lived up to lofty goals of topping Japanese rivals; Dodge sport wagon takes its place.
    Anyone who can't see why that is a rather unfortunate phrase: I pity you.
    Thanks for all the fish

    I actually like it too.

    If I didn't get such a great deal on the 9-2X Aero, I would've been driving around in an SRT-4 instead.

    Great news. Won't be seeing too many of those inept machines on British roads anymore.
    On a Good day, Chris Bangle designs the Fiat Coupe.
    On a Bad day, he designs a BMW.

    The Magnum is a piece of shit. it's ugly, got the aerodynamics of a brick, the Hemi doesn't make 425 horses, they are overrated anyways, cost too much and have Chrysler's darling reliabilty record.

    What has that got to do with the price of fish?

    I know it says the replacement is the "Dodge Sport Wagon", which is a description of the Magnum.

    Why would anyone think that Dodge would be replacing a wheezy, crap, 4-pot, 4-door saloon with a 425bhp V8 powered estate car?

    Use your brains before posting people!
    Thanks for all the fish
