There have been rumors floating around for a while now that when Dodge brings back their Durango-sized sport utility vehicle for 2012 that it could be called the Dodge Magnum. That name started on a sporty coupe in the 70's then moved on to the popular gangster style station wagon, so I guess that it wouldn't be all that odd for the name to receive yet another form.
This morning, a variety of sources have shown off drawings
of what is expected to be that 2012 sport utility, with the pictures depicting sketches
of the next SUV submitted to the US patent office. The drawings give us a great look at this new
Dodge SUV although there is little insight to the details of the 2012 Dodge
SUV. Thanks to Mr. M. for sending me the images from the USPTO.
One interesting feature is the large split-spoke wheels that look very similar to those found on the Dodge Ram SRT10. Could these drawings portray the newest Dodge SRT model? The Jeep SRT8 model with AWD and the 425hp 6.1L Hemi made a splash in the industry and could the sharp styling of the Dodge brand bring us another high performance SUV?
