+fireamx,
Wow, the Hornet was my car with a rear end. My stripes were also gold! My second car was also a Hornet (snot green - you probably recall the color with a matching plaid/vinyl interior that if you threw up in it no one would ever know). My sister bought a Hornet wagon. I still reminisce over the Gremlin and would really like to find another some day.
Based on our early purchases and the history of the Crossfire it is understandable why we have gravitated towards the Crossfire. We were just early birds who have been waiting for a reemergence of great design work. For others on the board, "if I have to explain it you wouldn't understand" (wink, wink).
