Yes, that was a fair & honest review. I don't think he gave the Xfire's cornering enough credit, and he didn't mention the great breaking and tight turning circle. Still, at least he didn't come with an axe to grind, as lots of reviewers seem to.

It's sad that the car was a sales flop A lot of passion went into the car I think, and Chrysler took a risk, even when they were strapped for cash.

In the end, I think the main reason for the car's demise was price. Snobs don't drop 35k on a car with a Chrysler badge. Another reason may be the obsession with horsepower ratings. There are so many aspects of performance other than straight line acceleration, but that gets all the attention. Then again, Chrysler didn't advertise it! I never saw an Xfire ad until I went to YouTube. The car is so friggin sexy all they'd have to do is rotate the car on a platform and film it and they'd have a 30-sec commercial that would bring em in to the showroom.

How could they ***** up selling a car like the Xfire?
