Default Re: Car wash story

I first saw an ad in a car magazine while sitting at the barber shop (sorry - don't remember which one). From there I went online to read all about the car (and where I discovered this site). I almost summarily dismissed the car because of the 215 HP - much less than my Mustang GT, but I did decide to try one last week, and after driving one around, there wasn't that much difference. In fact, when I was showing my daughter what it could do this afternoon I was chirping the tires in Third gear. Incidentally, my daughter is 22 and she and all her friends thought it was awesome!

If Ford wasn't wildly successful with the 05' Mustang, and I could have gotten one cheaper, I might not have even looked at the Crossfire, but I'm glad I did. It is a CLASSY car, stylish and sexy and it really turns heads wherever I go.

When I heard how few Mitsubishi Eclipses sold last year, I was amazed since it seems like there is an Eclipse ad on every ten minutes on TV. They push the heck out of it and it shows. I second the need for better dealer training. I spent an hour with the owner's manual and was telling my salesman things about the car he didn't know!!!

All in all a great value - where else can I get a German engineered sports convertible for so little money.
