Well, lets just compare cars to cars, not cycles, not Alfa Romeo's, etc. 99% of the CARS on the road rely on 1 plug per cyl., "nuff said. Its worked for decades and I dont see all the auto companies jumping on the bandwagon to put in two per cyl. I think Chrysler dropped the ball on a good car. Maybe the people who buy Chryslers dont walk the car lot looking for a sports car, whick Chrysler has not produced for years. "oh yea, I forgot the Neon SRT", a real road burner. Xfires are good cars, have great looks, and perform nicely, but a world beater, I dont think so. The last time I looked, I didn't see anybody say the MB slk is one of the greatest cars on the road. And our Xfires are almost totally derived from this platform, save for the Chrysler decals. The last post about a Mazda engine was good, that engine is one good powerplant and could easily be fitted to a Xfire without much difference in performance. The interior is so-so. Lots of plastic and cheap looking *****. The leather is a very sub-prime material which I would confuse for the old vinal from years ago. When you charge this much for a car, the seat you sit on should feel like the recliner in your home. These are just a few observations I've had about my car. I guess some folks cant handle the truth. I still get a kick out of it, but its just another car, no more no less.
