Does this mean no GTG in the spring? Or do you want us to come and let you drive ours around for old times sake? 
Hope you enjoy the magnum, as much as I dislike the macho commercials and "Is that a HEMI???" billboards, the magnum does look like a really practical vehicle. If it had an MB CDI diesel in it, I'd be looking a lot harder.

Nothing's changed with the GTG, there has been MB's driven to it before by members who have both VW & MB diesels.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. The Magnum & Chrysler 300 are built on a S430 MB chassis, uses MB electronics, drive trains and even seats. It rides and drives better then E320 wagon and the E320CDI which I drove recently at a dealership.
The new MB V6 engine will be offered in the Dodge trucks starting in '06 in the Sprinter, then with the rest of the Dodge trucks & cars in '07 if no production problems are incountered. When that happens the current Magnum will then be traded for a new Magnum with a diesel engine.
One really should look into these Dodge & Chrysler cars using the MB chassis, the dollar savings for not having a MB star is unreal. A fully loaded AWD Hemi Magnum only list for about $34,000 and will have about every option a MB S430 is equipted with for $40,000 less.
