Default 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 Spy Shots:



Spy photographers have caught the facelifted 2008 Dodge Magnum without any disguise in final testing. The refreshed Magnum SRT-8 will roll off the assembly line next August, sporting a pretty noticeable front-end makeover. The grille and the headlamps become more streamlined, and the nearly everything from the hood down to the bumper have been revised. Although we weren't able to get pictures from behind, we understand that the taillamps have also been revised.

Shown in these latest photos is the new Magnum SRT-8, which industry insiders say will be capable of hitting 60 mph in 5 seconds flat. Watch for the Magnum SRT-8 to debut sometime during the 2007 Auto Show season.

Nix the grill and the fog lights and slap a more agressive bumper on it and I'd roll that baby off the lot!

I like it! Sharper styling imo. The first one was nice but the front end is much less truck like on this new one and that's a plus to me. The passenger cars need to have their own identity. The bulky fist front end doesn't translate as well on a vehicle with smaller dimensions.

I like how they do their watermarks. They don't slap them right across and important part of the car that shows styling changes. Some sites will throw big yellow letters across the main part of a car so you can't see anything.

Pretty slick! I wonder if there's any performance improvements for this latest reincarnation.

Im sorry, but I don’t like this look at all, its 90% like the Chargers front clip but with a reverse angle of attack on the grill. The existing Magnum front looks far better IMHO.

I usually say the same thing bud, but in this case I already see Dodges that look like this, the Magnum HAD its own look... Thats why it was great.

Way to gay out the best affordable wagon Dodge. Oh wait, you've done it to nearly the whole line already. The previousMagnum didn't need to look overly agressive because it was overly agressive...
