Basically it's a Dodge truck lowered and with a hatchback. Hemi is a nice engine though.

No, no no no no, not even close to a lowered truck. The chassis shares many components with Mercedes cars, mainly to save money since the Magnum was/is to be a rear drive car. Hardly a lowered truck.......

That Magnum is based on the E-class chassis. It is really fast and looks awesome in person, esp. in darker colors. It is supposed to be the most powerful car you can buy under $30,000...

I'd still take the original over the new one, any day. Though hopefully that's a common sentiment
