Well, I would say SOME of the general population is starting to see them as cheap. I think the majority still doesn't have a clue to what the car is. Yesterday as I was driving onto the local airport a flight instructor flagged me down with a question. While he was talking to me he was walking around my Crossfire looking at it. He then asked what it was. I told him it was a Chrysler Crossfire. He then asked what is a Crossfire. Over 3 years on the market and this person didn't have any idea what it was.

So some may think it's cheap but many others are going to think it's expensive because it's expensive looking. The ying yang perception we have going on with our cars will balance everything out.
