Only other car I considered was a C6 Corvette and that was before they came out to the dealers.
There was a lot of speculation about price and the word on the street was that it would be a lot, lot more than it finally turned out to be.. I guess you could say that because of the hype on high price and the fact the car wasn't available yet, that's why I bought the Xfire.
I was ready to buy in March/April and I liked the Xfire so I went and bought it. Not sorry I did and I think considering the real price difference between the C6 and the Xfire, it was the right choice.
Besides, I have an 88 Corvette that keeps my membership in good order with the Corvette Club.
