Hate to say this but the new Audi TT is going to be a real probelm for the crossfire. The crossfire was built by daimler crysler with a purpose to compete with the Audi TT. Chrysler currently seem very smug that the Crossfire is out selling the the Audi TT in the good old USA (maybe because the crossfire is now cheep as chips in the USA). However the 2007 crossfire is in no real way different, if not completely identical to the 2003 crossfire, The 2007 Audi TT is a completely different beast from that available in 2003... (Ok lets admit it, it is completely awesome in comparrison... it is like comparing a ford model T to a for 2007 ford musang GT) it is almost like Audi have done some R&D over the last four years.

What can I say... A car that does not change becomes an alsorand, I thought we might have at least some new engines (perhaps from the new SLK). Basically everone who buys a new crossfire now outside of the USA (where they are cheeper than ice creams and condoms in the UK) is getting getting completely ripped off.

Still love my 2005 roadster (what can I say - it was a TT beater in 2005 when I bought it - just a shame it has never changed).
