Before buying I test drove all of the competitors and at the end of the day, I believe that the Crossfire is the most underrated car in America. It is the best of the best. I would definitely buy another especially since they are being discontinued and the '07 purchases come with a life time warranty. They will only increase in value over time. I have been thinking that it is the perfect complement to a Lotus Elise. Instead of spending $120,000.00 for an overrated Porsche how about $50,000. and $40,000, for an Elise and a Crossfire alternating them on days for driving. That way the miles are kept down. The Crossfire when I want a little luxury and the Lotus when I want a raw race car.

Much better; thanks. You hit a home run with this one, IMHO.

Like you, I have also had two. Ordered an Alabaster/Cedar '04 when they first came out in '03, and then traded it for the '05 SRT-6 in 2005 when sales first started going squirrelly thanks to Chrysler's bumbling marketing incompetence. Probably paid too much for the first, but did very well when I traded it for the second. The Crossfire is definitely the best automotive bargain out there today.

Your proposed Crossfire + Lotus combination makes a lot of sense if you can justify having the room for two two-seat fun sports cars (as several members of this forum already do). They're still making Lotuses, but the Crossfire has been discontinued. So which one would a rational buyer get first? We know because we've already done it!
