I know what crossfire is...Lines of fire from two or more positions crossing each other at a single point. But when I said it slowly....the image of a cross...on fire....briefly entered my mind. I thought....interesting...I wonder if there is any particular demographic that might find this to be a not so pleasant momentary mental image.

The Crossfire is a beautiful car from what I can tell....I was just a little surprised that in todays media...no group or outspoken individual has made a stink about the possible interpretation or imagery of the name.

Im not on any crusade so please dont slam me....just looking for any opinion or pointers to any voiced concerns.
Anyone who would object to the name on religious grounds would be a humorless pud by definition and therefore would not buy a Crossfire under any circumstances.
