Thanks, that makes sense.

As long as the auto-trans works well, I personally don't mind giving up rowing gears.

I've always admired the Crossfire, and when the AMG version came out I thought it was a great car (that's why I ordered the 2005 factory brocures), but the price was a bit prohibitive, but now the prices are terrific so I'm looking for a nice clean SRT roadster.
