They used to be WAY underpowered, but this years model has like 350 HP or something like that, so they fixed one thing, anyway.

they still cost too much.

BUT, even with the boosted HP, and if they lowered the price to $30K, I still would not even consider one because they don't offer a manual transmission even as an option.

Who the heck wants an automatic sports car? Can an automatic even be called a sports car?

So tell those pussys trying to race you to get a car with a real transmission, and then maybe you will think about it.

people who drive automatic sports cars = pussys.

I just kinda in the groove with the pussys right now. pussy pussy pussy.

Where'd my wife go......
you're right. It takes a true hard-ass to drive a manual. 80 percent of Europe must be hard-ass.

I like the way the front of the Crossfire looks but behind the doors it looks like the designers came back from lunch after visiting a crack house . Whoever approved that rear end as ok for production should be fired.

I'm not a big fan of the exterior styling either...The next gen SLK looks so much hotter using the same platform

Must be selling like hot cakes here, I've NEVER seen one on the road, and according to Chryslers site the MSRP is $47,799 CDN. With the sales drive right now in my Area I can get one with NO haggling for $40,999! $7k off, so now if I haggle how much do I get another $1000 off?

Yuk. I saw one today next to a Z3, it looked unwieldy and odd. The lines look artificial and forced to me... they don't flow IMHO.

Would much rather buy a new SLK or used M3.

Maybe it's for people who really really want to be different... but have no taste.

Sometimes there's a reason that people pick cars that are popular... (boxster S, M3, etc.)

Kind of reminds me of the Ford Thunderbird... different and "unique," but too many better options in the price category.

One of my coworkers bought one because he wanted something "different." He never describes it as being fun to drive, but he says he gets plenty of "looks and stares."

I could think of better ways to spend the kind of money he paid for it, but to each his own I guess.

I think the crossfire looks like a dog taking a shit (honestly).

I think that's what Top Gear said about it when they reviewed it. It made me spill my drink when I heard them say that.
