Are you that bored?

kinda. I'm between a lot of projects and teh boss is out until next week

Looking for your opinion.

The wife and I are thinking of getting rid of the mini-van for a new Dodge Magnum (more than likely not a hemi). Although the wife likes mini-vans (don't ask me why) we still need a large enough vehicle for us and our 2 kids. I don't want to go SUV -- too big for wife to drive everyday and fuel efficiency isn't where I want it to be.

Thoughts, concerns??

There is a ton of fuel efficient and compact but plenty of room for atleast 4-5 adults. The Honda Pilot, Ford Escape, or the Jeep Liberty.

you'll look really hip n cool in this bad boy!

Although that looks very attractive *not*, I must inform you that we are not munchkins looking to take the spotlight at the circus.

I prefer to shop American based companies -- Thank you.

ntimid8r, what about a subaru ? pretty safe vehicle, they look nice and usually are all wheel drive. Not as dopey as an SUV but prolly gets the same gas milage

True, I've kinda looked at them but not sure how big they are. Wife likes to carry alot of junk in the back of the van now. Again, dont' ask me why.

Compact's are going to be a little small. My kids are still in car seats so that takes up a bunch of room. So the 4-5 passenger seating becomes 3 1/2.

That's why I've felt the mini-van's did the best job when you're dealing with younger kids. I'm just sick of the "not fun to drive" aspect. Although I only drive the family truckster either on weekends or family roadtrips.

To me the Magnum is a pretty cool looking alternative for a family vehicle. I mean do you dare to be different?

Plus it's built on one of the Mercedes chassis (not sure which one) so the ride should be very good. I haven't test drove one yet but I'm going to try this weekend. I'll have to decide if I like it then.

I've searched online for customer reviews about the Magnum and haven't read anything "too" negative about the 2006 models. Also to note, the Hemi models are computer tunable like our beloved F-bodies.
