it cannot compare to cars of its class? retractable hardtop? are you serious? the only car with a retractable hardtop in its class (sort of) is the slk and the slk's msrp is NOTICEABLY more than the crossfire's the SRT Crossfire MSRP is equivalent to the slk280 price and if i were to choose between the two cars AGAIN I would not hesitate and take the SRT Crossfire... like I did a year ago...
and no other class anywhere near the crossfire price range comes with a retractable hard top... extras? what extras do you need man? the sound system is decent, the gps is only favored by some... I could not care less if my car had it or not.. you are right though that the dash could of been a bit better, but it is a real mercedes dash compare it to the previous generation slk you will find that the difference is MINIMAL... (no dumb cup holder).
