Indeed. I really don't care at all for the Crossfire convertible styling. That coupe line is really what makes it. Kind of the reverse of the Jag XKE. The convertible XKE is, to me, the most beautiful car of all time. The coupe XKE can go off a cliff, for all I care.

My one real problem with the SRT Crossfire, especially at $50K, is that damn recirculating ball steering. No car aspiring to sporting pretensions should have that. Especially as it enters Boxster S, Elise, Vette, Viper, BMW M, price points...

Rack and pinion has been the standard for any sports car for almost 50 years. Ferraris, Lambos, Lotuses, Astons, Porsches, Vettes, Vipers, Z's, BMW's, NSX's....all still using tried and true racks.

Crossfire...recirculating ball. Ouch. It handles well as is. It would FEEL even better with a proper front end.
