Default Re: The Unknown Car...

Actually, I think we all are going to be driving an "Unknown" car for quite some time to come. Not that's there is anything wrong with that. I mean driving a car that still turns as many heads now as it did over 7 years ago is pretty cool. Talk about getting our money's worth in that "new car smell" department.
As good as these cars are, it's not really going to change the perception the "general" public has of them, simply because it never did anything significant in the automotive world to make them stand out, (besides looking like a Million Bucks)!
Driving an unknown car does have its perks. Trust me, I know, I've owned a car for over 40 years that is still virtually unknown to some automotive enthusiasts, even to this day.
Only in the last few years has it been receiving some long over due recognition, but it's not unusual to still hear people have misconceptions about it, and it wouldn't surprise me to see the very same thing happen to the Crossfire in the future.
So don't be upset 20 years from now when you're at a car show for "Dinosaurs" displaying your pride and joy, and some self proclaimed "expert" comes up to you and says. "Hey, nice Chrysler, I always loved that hood. Our next door neighbor had one of those when I was kid, and he would put the top down and me and his son would jump in the back seat and go for ice cream".
