Inside Autocade
Dodge Magnum (LX). 2005–8 (prod. n/a). 5-door wagon. F/R, 2736 cm³ (V6 DOHC), 3518 cm³ (V6 OHC), 5654, 6059 cm³ (V8 OHV). First Chrysler car to use new LX platform, and essentially a wagon version of Chrysler 300. Brash, as with the sedan, and smaller than traditional full-size station wagons, though the largest American on offer during its time. Facelift in 2008 with new interior, shared with Charger. Suffered from poor sales and with Chrysler’s mounting financial problems, cancelled after the 2008 model year, with final models coming off the lines in March 2008.
Manufacturing location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada

Citroën revives prewar C4 name for its C-segment competitor on the Peugeot 307 platform, with styling overseen by Jean-Pierre Ploué. Rounded roofline, connecting it with the smaller Citroën C3 (2002–11). Very good handling, balanced well with ride, on conventional suspension; willing DOHC engines. Central LCD speedometer proved clear, even in less than ideal lighting conditions. Steering wheel featured a fixed hub, which worked well. Lane departure warning system on top model. Refresh in 2008. Bioflex 1·6 model from 2008, capable of running on ethanol. Deleted in Europe in 2010 as second-generation C4 débuted, but continued in Argentina.
