I've owned a Lotus Esprit Turbo, an E55 AMG Mercedes, a couple of Saleens and too many Corvettes. So, I think I am qualified to compare the Crossfire to other sports cars.
Two-seater sports cars appeal to a very limited market and once the initial demand is met the premium prices tend to drop dramatically. For example, the recent Ford Thunderbird, which was a very nice car.
I can't really think of any other current cars, which can truly go 150 mph, that can be bought brand-new for around $25K.
If interior room, comfortable seats and cup holders are your thing, you wouldn't have liked the Lotus Esprit, either, at 3X the price.
