I will just touch on the topic of reliability. Today had lacrosse practice in the freezing cold/rain/sleet. When I got back to my car water was iced over the entire exterior. I opened the door without any sticking of the weatherstripping (due to frozen condensation). The the six cylinders came to life immediately upon turning the ignition. The thermometer readout was 28 degrees. I know this might not be that cold for some, however my point is that I had an overwhelming sense of solidarity about the car. I knew I could trust it even in really poor conditions. Considering that the Crossfire rolls on high performance (low profile) tires, has low ground clearance, and is a RWD sports car, it is surprisingly trust worthy for a sports car. You just can't find that with all high performance vehicles.
