Default chrysle crossfire

what are your thought on this car? in paper, it looks ok. but in person, its amazing. i saw my first one in black about a month ago and im like wow, its pretty nice. my parents came up to orlando to visit this weekend. my dad said he needed help getting something out of the car. i walk out of my apartment to see his new chrysler crossfire. its this bad ass red color. 6 speed. 18 inch wheels in the front with 19 inch wheels in the back. it sounds o so good. i only took one pic but im going back to tampa this week and ill take more and ill post them when i get the pics developed....i just have to say i love this car.

Too slow and too $$$. Another Prowler if you ask me. Saw a red one in Tampa this afternoon. Interesting to look at, but not my cup of tea. There's only one Chrysler division two-seater I would consider owning and the Crossfire sure as Hell ain't it.

I think the coolest thing about them is that they look exactly the same as the concept model did. They didn't change a thing exterior-wise.

The same with the Pacifica, I gotta give'em credit, fit & finish and build quality are amazing on those two cars, considering the turds Chrysler has been rolling off the assembly lines lately.

It is a mercedes - right - all SLK underpinnings - looks small too - like a SLK... I think it looks better in print than in person. The rear end looks like it was glued on IMO.

Oh well - to each his own.

i agree....it is pretty expensive and it could use a little more power. but other than that, i have no complaints at all. it was just amazing how many looks i got in that car while driving for maybe 20 minutes. people were giving us thumbs ups and waves and they were like . it just makes me want my g35 coupe even more....
