Chrysler is not a brand associated with top quality or exciting performance in the mind of the general public. I'm sure the goal was to change that perception with the Xfire. Too tall an order for one car.
i agree... except for the snobbery and vanity part, haha
i think of myself as a practical guy and bought a convertible cause i've always wanted one ever since my buddy in high school drove us around in his Chrysler Le baron... ;-) Then i found that the car was surprisingly fast and put it to good use and started taking it to the track. so my purchase has nothing to do with snobbery... for crying out loud it's a CHRYLSER!
here's a story of vanity and snobbery for you. a friend bought a z4 when it first came out. bought it cuz it's a BIMMER, so she says...
saw her sometime during the summer and made a comment that she's looking a little pale considering she drives a lot and has the convertible.
her response, was "it's too hot... i don't want to get dark... and get skin cancer"...
bless her heart. :-)
