It's pissant! (Points to anyone who gets that)

Fine automotive engineering? For something so fine, Mercedes and Chrysler sure don't seem to be working too much together anymore

The Xfire has flaws just as the 8 does, neither car could be considered fine automotive engineering. Especially since a statement like that is an opinion, you can never unanomously declare a car that, there's always going to be some kind of flaw in a car people won't like, and if it isn't there, they'll find something to B**** about!

Classic syling on the other hand, I'd say both of them have. The RX-7 had it when it came out, the way it looks is timeless, I can see the same for the Xfire and the 8. They both have an "out there" approach to car styling that makes them unique.

As far as looking cool, why thank you for the compliment, I happen to think I do look cool when driving the 8 - And there's nothing wrong when a car brings you such joy it makes you feel like a kid again

Sounds to me like you're just some grumpy old xfire owner who wants those young whippersnapper 8's off your lawn!
