Is this a Fiat 124 sedan in the new Magnum PI series trailer?

Good eye Karl! The shape of the logo in the front grill suggest it would be a Lada. The 124 sedan look-alike was called a Signet in Canada.

That was my thought also...LADA. Except for the fact is was driving fast and handled well, so couldn't have been. 
I did not watch all of it, but it appears they have completely copied the old show in just about every detail. Although I didn't see the "Higgins" character?
I did however catch the part where he crashes the Ferrari, jumps from it onto a truck as it flies off a cliff, then jumps off the truck onto the helicopter as it flies over. A bit more aggressive than I remember the old show to be.

Although I normally do not watch much television, and especially not the "normal" programming (I only watch some automotive specific shows or racing). This thread intrigued me to see the first episode of the new Magnum PI the other night. I was curious how a LADA made its way into any show. I was quickly reminded of why I don't watch TV - horrible waste of time. However they managed to work at least 3 different Ferrari models into the episode, including the destruction of two of them. And all with fake engine/exhaust sounds added. Very sad.
