I knew I would buy it after driving two blocks. I took it home that day, and traded a Mazda6 that I owned for only three weeks. The Crossfire's engineering and design are brilliant. The car is solid.

And what a tremendous value. Audi, BMW, MB make you pay $5,000 to $6,000 to move from 4 up to 6 cylinders. The Crossfire gives you a MB 320 engine at a $15,000 discount to the SLK320.

Where else can you find 18" & 19" wheels on a $30,000 car?

Forget resale because that's out of your control and you are getting a huge value upfront. You buy a car to drive it, not resell it. And this car is a blast to drive.

Buy a Toyota if you want good resale. But no Toyota gets attention from girls like the Crossfire does.
