I actually stumbled upon getting a Crossfire, after Ford screwing me on the 05' Stang GT. I took the Crossfire for a ride and was very impressed, especially with the power. Not that it was fastest car I've ever driven, but the torque, it felt alot better than everyone said it was. I remember reading that it had a "lame" motor, lame compared to what, something with 300+ hp. If that's the case then yes, its lame, I guess. The people that rag the car are usually the ones who've never driven one, its a great touring car that's got a decent ride considering its a sports car, handles great and its very confident when driving at speeds above 90 mph (who actually drives their Crossfire at 70 mph on the freeway, you can't, you know I'm right!) Even here in the metro Detroit area the car gets noticed and that really amazes me because we've got everything out here. As far as them staying on the lots, its not a practical car but give Chrysler credit for building it when other car companies tease the enthusiast (GM) and they actually build their concept cars, i.e. the Prowler, PT, Viper, Crossfire, Firepower?, etc.
