My local dealer has one of each side by side in the showroom.. there is more
than just a price difference.. AWD v QuadraDrive II.. towing capacity..
ground clearance.. general styling..
Both are ok but I would have thought that they are aimed at different market
sectors..

Re: GC/Magnum price difference??!!
Well its amazing what you can learn in a day..lol
just went and double checked chryslers website and sure enough the magnum
does have an AWD option, in fact it has 2 AWD options available (they seem
more of a difference in trim levels and engine). Last I heard Chrysler
wasn't bringing these out until 2006 when they plan to unveil the sedan
version.

You may have gotten that backwards. See http://www.autoweek.com/
"...the Chrysler Group’s 300 and Magnum family of vehicles, all of which
are available with awd save the base V6 models."

Sorry, but the 2005 Magnum does have AWD available. Oh, and the hemi
is made a bit south of the border, as in Mexico.
