I think majority of their target customers are the Crossfire afficionados who are more inclined of the DC styling and design the fact that the Crossfire will end its production on 2007 which is the target year for the Firepower to launch.

Why stick with an old styling when there's a new millenium design of cars out there like the Crossfire and Firepower? Why stick to the decade long design of the Porsche, Audi, NSX, Mustang and Corvettes ( the C6 changed though...the headlights!) when there's a new car like the Crossfire and Firepower for the next generation of car enthusiasts who are now in their 30's?

About the pricing, I think its better and reasonable than the NSX who has inferior interior, old design and less HP with a price almost the same as the Viper and the Lotus Esprit.

I don't think I wanna pass this world where a corvettte still looks like the corvette 20+ years ago?
