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.
That's pretty funny because i get the same type of people wondering what kind of car it is!! They love it, but have no clue to what it is until they get a closer look. Couple of examples...I was driving behind this minivan and we came to a red light. Woman (mid 30's) sticks her head out of the window and asks, "What kind of car is that?" I told her "It's a Crossfire". She says "Who makes it?!" Another example...I pull up to a bar and two guys (40's) were having a smoke outside. I walk in, sit down and order a drink. These two come in saying "We had to look at your car, we thought it was a maserati or something". lmfao! Nice
I always state the cars production #'s. They usually get a kick out of that too.
