I think the stock Xfire will become a classic.

To quote a review by Autobytel:

"In the car-a-minute culture of the 21st centry, it is rare to find one that gives pause. ... Nowadays, it is rare to find a vehicle that deserves the honor of even a die-cast salute, which is quite probably why makers of die-cast statuettes continue to make their living in the 50s and 60s.

There aren't that many current model cars out there worth preserving, even as 1/16th scale model.

Except maybe the 2005 Crossfire. With its Mercedes' guts and Bugatti-inspired American design, the Crossfire looks nothing like what it is: a compromise car between two very different automotive companies, a merging of sorts between two cultures.

... the suberb 215 hp V6 engine, combined with its creative design, gives the Crossfire panache of its own."

So, if you want to... go ahead and modify to your hearts content.

Just don't expect me to....
