What are the pros and cons of buying/Driving a Dodge Magnum or a Mazda 6 Wagon?

My husband and I are starting to look at new cars. We don't have any children yet, but we will within the next 5 years, and want to buy a car that is child friendly. I hate minivans, they are okay for others but I won't bring myself to buy one. I want the space of a bigger car, but I also want a slick looking car. We are trying to decide between the Dodge Magnum (Hemi or no Hemi) and the Mazda 6 Wagon. Please tell me your thoughts. The one thing we are worried about if we get the Hemi is that it will lose so much value so quickly because it seems like they are putting a hemi in anything these days.

Update:

Mazda is owned by Ford, and almost all that are bought in America are made in America these days. Plus my husband and I don't really buy into the "I love Chevy's or I love Honda's" idea. We appreciate all beautiful cars. We own a Civic, a Neon SRT, and a 66' Impala.

Update 2:

I appreciate knowing what you like better, but can you give me pros and cons??

    I think anyone can give you their opinions on any vehicle comparison. Check out the website below and research each vehicle's specifics and go from there. Good luck!

    I would get the Mazda out of the two. Will hold the value better although I don't know how big is the market for this because I don't see too many.. Will be better on gas and more reliable.. Also consider Subaru Outback. This sits a little higher then the Mazda or the Magnum so when you put your baby in the car, it will be easier on your back... It's really pain in the butt to get a baby into the buster seat when the car sits low, you dont see the buckle, you have to hold the baby to fit it in the seat, buckle, it's a lot of bending.. (Maybe a small SUV such as Rav4?) I read that Dodge will stop making the Magnum because it doesn't sell. I don't know which year, but at the dealership they will be able to tell you. Good luck.
