Pelked1 is absolutely correct -- the rear spoiler in person is very different (and much cooler) than it appears in photographs. It not only continues the strakes of the hood and the roof, but it also lines up perfectly with the sweep of the rear fenders from the side and with the curve of the hatch from above. Both the fixed and deployable models, however, show the kind of attention to design and manufacturing detail that drew us to these cars in the first place. Both are well integrated into a coherent mix of form and function. The fact that the Crossfire platform successfully accommodates these two very different solutions shows that the design was thought through carefully rather than haphazardly and that features were added to serve a functional purpose rather than as mere automotive ornamentation. Why these cars haven't done better in the marketplace is still a major mystery to me.
