I can tell you that the U.S. has plenty of winding roads. I took mine, a week ago, on a road trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the car handles Great!!! I know what it means to have a car that handles..... I drove midgets and sprint cars in the 60s and 70s, here in the states (California). I would challenge anyone's references that says this car doesn't handle well. They need to take a long hard look at Road and Track magazine's test drive and the times the car turned on their slolam course. The Crossfire times were right there with the 350Z, Porche Boxter and Z4 BMW. The Crossfire was even a tad better than a couple of them.
