What a joke! Somebody turned a 2009 Challenger into a Magnum. BTW
and FWIW, DMVs certainly including my home state of Michigan not
only have no clue as to body styles or designations, they haven't
updated them for decades. So, for example, a PT Cruiser is
registered as - are you ready for this? - a "station wagon".
Yeah, I guess I CAN see it - it has 4-doors, fold-down rear
seats, and a "tailgate".

But, wrt to body styles real, imagined, popular opinion, or
manufacturer official. I'd really have to dig around to find even
ONE Chrysler product in the last I don't know how many years that
even was adversised as any old-fashioned body style. I do know
this: I don't believe any car maker calls their cars "station
wagons" because of the negative suburbia stereotype.
Interestingly, the modern day equivalent has become the minivan,
no matter the brand. Seems that the new phrase, though, is
"soccer Mom car". Yeah, I can see that also. I certainly enjoyed
minvans when my daughter was young.

Too bad, really, that both Ford and GM have decided to eventually
cancel their current minivans, or at least so I have heard and
read. Seems they think the day of the mini has passed and they
want to spend precious investment income on the new hot segment,
the "new" station wagons called CUVs or Crossover Utility
Vehicle. A rose by any name would smell as sweet. Chrysler, on
the other hand, decided to try to take back its long lead in
mininvans from such excellent vehicles as the Honda Odyssey. I
said "too bad, really" above because I don't like two of the
largest car companies in the world simply ceding an entire market
segment to the Japanese, in effect, surrendering without a fight.
