how can anyone focuse after 230RN posted? i'm still laughing.
I think it's pretty obvious that Chrysler's Magnum line of engines had a gun-inspired name. I mean, .44 Magnum => 440 Magnum? Too obvious.

Also one of the few cars to be named after a fish.
Ah, come on. Dodge Caliber, Dodge Magnum, both built in a more aggressive style. Both use words which are viscerally associated with firearms. Magnum PI anyone? Who knows if the guys who named them were gun enthusiasts, but they knew magnum was an aggressive name - ideal for an aggressive car. It is an aggressive name not because of wine nor cigars nor latin scholars. Most people have heard of a 357 or 44 magnum (or Colt 45 for that matter).
