Runner up was the 350Z also but they are more common in looks when compared to the Xfire. Plus there are twice as many of them out there and the G35 is pretty close too. Another small factor was that they cannot be driven in the winter without big $ for tires. The Xfire will get by in the Canadian winters with the Continentals as I have already found. You can drive by 50 people in a 350Z and maybe 20 will realize it is a special car but drive by in a Xfire and 50 notice. Such a radical design change from the norm.
We are paying the price for such a rare vehicle as there is not a lot of assessories available. Although that should change, if we, as a group keep looking for upgrades. I think that the Xfire may go the way of the Prowler after a few years and if so, it should hold it's value as a unique and impressive automobile. My plan is to be sitting behind the wheel of one when that happens.
