I looked outside my window(s) just now.. i count 7 bmw's, 3 models, 5's and a 7 model... 4 mercedes sl's from what looks like 2001 model to a 2004-6 and 1 porsche cayenne with ugly rims, and it's an ugly car/truck/whatever... My block is in New York City and i live in a brownstone in Brooklyn. You may indeed doubt it but it doesn't make it not true. Infact i can pretty much put my life on the fact that you could count 10 mercedes or bmws or a mixture there of in 10 minutes from walking out my front door. Of course you'll only count 1 crossfire in that amount of time; my own. I'm not trying to knock your experience; it's great that you like the car and you got looks. I'm not knocking that, I was simply replying to the fact that mercedes/bmw at least where I live are actually a dime a dozen. Not that they're aren't nice cars, but they aren't unique in any fashion around here. Infact i've seen more bentley gt's in this neck of the wood than Crossfire.
