Thank you for pointing me to the Rice-burner S2000 forum. I needed a good laugh this morning
I won't comment on the ignorance of those comments I read.
I have driven over 19,000 miles on my XFire and loved every minute of it. It is a great car, made by Karmann, and built basically from the Mercedes SLK320 parts bin.
Run, don't walk, to buy a Crossfire and you will catch what we call "permagrin" from owning and driving this fine automobile.
