The difference is that the US is the home market for the magnum. It MUST do well to continue. With the Sportswagon it MUST do well in Australia so it does not need the same penetration in the US market to have a big difference to the viability of the product.

Problem is people will call it a failure if it doesnt sell 100k a year in the US like the Grand Prix, not understanding low production volumes.

yeah i was surprised they went with the clubsport version first, the senator seemed like the obvious choice.

only thing i can think of is the MRC suspension tuning, which seems massively overpriced and probably not needed seeing the only change is the extra weight over the rear

That is a great looking wagon. I know that many people don't want to hear this, but i wonder if that has a possibility of joining the G8 family?
