I remember watching an episode of "Speed" where a Crossfire (cannot remember if it was a N/A or SRT) was pitted against an Audi TT and a BMW (Z3 I think, not sure) in the UK. They drove on different terrain, ending with a spectacular dash on a beach(!). The 3 drivers had 3 different perceptions, and ended up having 3 different choices for best drive (strangely enough, the most experienced driver of the lot chose the XF...)
That would have been the Top Gear episode with the convertible Xfire, the Xfire won on looks only. The beach was in Iceland. The other cars were a Audi TT and a 350Z - convertibles.
Top Gear panned the n/a coupe, nothing at all good. To top it of Clarkson said it looked like a dog having a dump, raising the ire of many on this forum, I see the similarities.
