Would definitely consider buying one if it came in AWD. 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.

I think the Xr6t has had the edge on most 6's for a while now, but I think ford need to up the ante a little due to other makers stepping up to the mark.

The two "other" 6 pot sedans - read Mitsu 380 & Toyota AUrion - are slated to get supercharged versions next year. 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!

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 :bum:
