Years ago I caught my first glimpse of a Crossfire on the way home from work, sitting in Cross Town Traffic just in front of me. The guy sittin next to me looked at the XFire, looked at my Harley, shouted out, " now that would be a hard choice to make in the mornings " !!! I had to agree !
Since that day the XFire had always been in the back of my brain, fast forward a couple of years and I decided that after raising a family and taking care of a wife for 28 years it was time to do something for myself. I searched the internet and found three XFires in the Austin area, a silver, a black and a red. The red was closest to where I live, so called the dealership and inquired about the car. They said that a couple of folks were looking at it but had not made an offer. I drove over to the lot and the car was no where to be found. Asked a salesperson about it, had it already been sold I inquired. Nope it's in the detail shop ! I waited around for 20 minutes are so and then they drove it out.........WOW that Inferno Red Paint just reached out and nabbed me ! Then I took it for a 100mph test ride...the salesguy was about as wide eyed as a hoot owl ! That was it....It's all over....I was unbelievably hooked by this lil machine !
