honestly I fell there is or was no direct competition for the crossfire.
This I belive was part of the problem with markerting of our awesome little ride.
Two seaters like the sky/solstace or miata/m5 list at entry level prices.
The rx8 is a rotary that mazda messed up on, big oops
Most of the others are in the upper price point range.
Many people that can afford luxury sports cars want you to know they spent $$ when you see it.
This leaves the crossfire in the middle, to much for entry level car, not enough for snooty peoples cars.
This is just my humble opinion. I happen to like snooty cars. I'd trade my crossfire for a viper or sl55 in a heart beat.
