I never ever thought about a crossfire! I'm not a Chrysler fan! never owned one. Bought a new Pontiac Solstice in Dec '05, waited 8 months for the car! I've been a GM buyer till 1984 when I bought a new 300zx turbo, I drove this car every day for 16 years. I love nissan products,wife drove a 1985 maxima station wagon for 17 years,fantastic products. Had a 280zx, several spitfires, mg's, corvettes, I stopped buying american cars in 1984, fit & finish was terrible and dealers could care less so I bought new nissans. I thought I'd try a GM product after I saw the new Solstice loved the looks!! I owned it for 1 1/2 years and the car was a fun to drive but the fit & finish was poor, I was very disappointed in the quality, will never buy GM again!!! I was going to get a new 350Z but my wife always loved the crossfire so I decided to look at this car. After checking out this car and looking at the prices I looked at one at a dealership in York PA. I was impressed with the Quality, Paint, warranty. I found a '05 roadster in Windbar Pa with 20,000 mile, one owner, 7-70 warranty, Black, perfect cond for $16,500, I drove it, one of the best cars I've driven. I bought it, very happy with this car!!! I sent the rollbars out to be chromed, and putting new 20" rims on this spring. Car is in the garage till spring, thinking about buying a SRT 6 coupe! LOVE THIS CAR!!!
