Why did you come on here any way, to bash?

Yes, I went out and bought a Crossfire SRT-6 so I could come on an internet forum and bash it.

All I speak is the truth, if you anyones love for this car blinds them then that is their problem not mine.

I love the crossfire. However the truth is, when it was released it was too expensive for what it is. If you want to argue that then fine, go ahead. They sat on lots for YEARS unsold because of the price and what the car was. It was a very expensive Chrysler with low practicality. If you wanted the top of the line SRT-6 you were stuck with an auto and this put off alot of buyers. At 46-52 grand sticker alot of potential buyers went elsewhere.. ie Corvette.

Call it what you want, your cheap Mercedes, because that is exactly what it is. Most buyers spending 52 grand on "these cars" went across the street and picked up a "real Mercedes" for a few grand more.

Am I bashing? No. Is it good that they went unsold? For the buyers at full sticker or close to it, Im willing to bet they would say no. For the buyers like you and me? I am going to say yes.

Do I like the looks of the Yep, always have, however IMO (and many agree, but not all and thats fine) the back end of the coupe leaves something to be desired.

Hey, if you are happy great, but at the end of the day the Crossfire was overpriced, and the SRT-6 was just a bit too odd (awesome styling, great handling, amazing power... all that fun without the 3rd pedal and something to row with your right hand) Yes I understand its an AMG and they are all autos. Thats fine, Im over that. However for a true sports car which this was very capable of being, it really should be a manual.

I am not here to bash your car, remember I have the same thing in the garage.
