I quite like it.
Styling reminds me of a 928.

I know what you said: Nooice, I loooik it!

Looks wicked awesome. No kiddin' it'll screw sales for the Viper. Who pays $100k for that ugly POS anyway.

I realized it had a Hemi when I read that it had only 2 valves per cylinder. Kind of had to read that twice. I thought it was another around-Cold-War-time-engineered-car-that never-saw-production-built-in-a-barn car. If you've been to America lately, I'm talking about the Malibu Maxx.

I kind of like the crossfire.....

I haven't seen a used one around here for 17 grand..... if I did I would consider buying one in the future.

the crossfire looks pretty nice when you see it in real life, in pictures it looks odd with the really short rear end. Not a crazy performer but still a good car.

I just checked the prices here locally and they are all around 32-40 k cdn.

dodge and chrysler are making some nice cars. I really like the dodge magnums with the hemi.

Those new dodge/ chrysler/ Jeep commercials with the old german guy telling everyone about the "german engineering" are kind of annoying though.

Hey - if you want german engineering, stick to P-cars!

As far as i know the crossfire is build in Germany/ city of osnabrueck/
in the Karmann-factory,the same company that had build the famous Karmann-Ghia.
karmann is well knowen for building all kind of convertibles for Mercedes,Volkswagen,Porsche and others.
The crossfire is based on the old mercedes-slk chassis,and it has the same engine,exept for the srt.

looks too wide for my liking.
