I disagree. I think the Magnum is a GREAT looking wagon... But that's just a matter of personal taste.

However, they ARE well-built cars for the most part. Far ahead of what GM is putting out nowadays, and Ford too. Ford does build nice trucks/vans, though...

As far as the whole Daimler-Benz thing... I think overall, Chrysler has benefitted greatly from the relationship, while Mercedes has suffered.
