PS. Nice PT forum you have going there. Hopefully someday this site will be that big.
I hope Chrysler ramps up production quickly (yes, I know that it is really Karmann) just so they can get the extra dealer mark-ups out of the system. PT's were that way for almost a year (some dealers were putting anywhere between a 2k-10k markup on those, if you can believe it). I'd advise everyone to resist paying anything over MSRP, it will just come back to bite you in a year or so when the new ones are selling for sticker or a little below.
It would also be really nice to see a 250-275hp Crossfire to make it more competitive with the cars that people are sure to cross-shop (no pun intended), like the Z, RX-8, etc.
At the very least, they should try to match the new TT V-6 (250hp).
Oh, and I'm sure that you will do quite well with this site. Just be sure to get it listed in the search engines, keep the content up-to-date, etc. and you can make sure that this becomes _the_ place to come for Crossfire information and updates. Good luck.
