It's ironic that I am the enamored owner of a Crossfire.
All my life I had an unconditional disdain for Chysler products, you could call it a predjudice... About a year ago I started shopping for a car, nothing new because I could not afford a new car within the class of vehicles I was considering; the Jaguar XK8 . It's a high-end luxury sports car and unique, you just don't see too many running around, exactly what I was looking for. The Jags that I saw were either too old, had too many miles, were too expensive or in bad shape. During my internet shopping I came across the Crossfire, my curiosity over-ruled my Chrysler predjudice because I sure liked the way she looked. I found all kinds of information about the Crossfire and 99.4% of it was very positive, especially the Mercedes contribution to it. I went to a dealer here in San Antonio just to look. It was black and beautiful, only a couple of paint chips on the front and the interior was flawless, it had that new car smell - my friend persuaded me to test drive it, so I sat in it and it fit like a glove. Took it out on the road and she felt fantastic but dammit it's a Chrysler! So I left the dealer and found an Infinity G35 to test drive. the performance and handling was almost identical to the Crossfire but it was so boring - a sedan. So I went back to the dealer with the Crossfire and bought it, then I found you guys on the forum and now here I am telling you my story...
