As a standard car the Magna is actually pretty good - very under rated. But the added weight may slow those times down a bit.Used examples of the current model don't sell for much so you would want to get it pretty cheap and maybe as a company tax right off.Matt

Exciting times ahead for 6 pot performance.Personally, people are wondering how the 200kw aurion handles itself with FWD, let along a torque thumping supercharged version. All I can hear is "computer limited torque for gears 1 & 2" ala Mazda 3 MPS.Without AWD, I wouldn't choose one of these. Its a pity cause the 380 concept looked understated yet aggressive.I think due to the sales success of the Turbo, Falcon has this segment licked. The bean counters will be happy to fund development on the '08 Falcon turbo Late model camira will be the only make without a performance 6 pot, unless it finds a home for the HFV6 Twin Turbo in commodore!
tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 20y 27d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/12/06 04:49 AM Posted 21/12/06 04:49 AM With the previous Magna having a AWD version, I don't know why they wouldn't do it again with the 380. A supercharged 380 AWD would be a definate winner.But alas, it's a bum dragger
