Default AWD Magnum

I'm new at this forum, seems like a good one. Figured that people here might be interested to know that our first SXT AWD arrived this morning. Now, if we can only get our Hemi AWD in. The AWD wheels look cool, they are a five spoke design.

The wheels are different, a thick 5 spoke. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow and figure out how to post them.

Looking forward to them, have an AWD RT on order since Aug 16th, still BX status (been there for a week). Any idea's how long they are in that status... my dealer is supposed to have the largest allocation in the Portland, OR area, but isn't that what they all say...
anyone?

I ordered a RT AWD for the dealership in March, and it's still in 'D' status. Hopefully they'll start moving soon. As for size of the dealer, we aren't very big, yet we got one of the first. Go figure.

The wheels are actually quite different than the SXT wheels, I emailed Scott the pics today, as I forgot I had to go to a Dodge meeting yesterday. Hopefully they'll be up soon. Thanks Scott.

Have you been able to compare how the AWD turns vs a plain SXT? I have been patiently waiting so I can drive both (and maybe I'll have to wait even longer for a SRT-8), I would really like AWD but I'm afraid the transfer case - or actually the drive axles up front will make it turn like say a FWD Buick Century VS the significantly tighter turning radius of my RWD Mercedes. You just can't turn a wheel as tight when you have drive axles attached - any insight?
