Other Choices:

If you're considering a 2008 Dodge Magnum, there are a couple of other near-wagon alternatives worth looking at. The Ford Taurus X is a crossover (really a tall-roof wagon) built on the same platform as the previous-generation Volvo XC90. The Taurus X is bigger than the Magnum, but offers none of the Dodge's handling or V-8 performance potential.
