Have a look at andycola's statement here:

"You do all know why Clarkson slates the Xfire don't you? On the official UK press release for the Xfire, Chrysler took a load of journo's to Las Vegas to do film shoots, photo shoots, etc. but Clarkson wanted to take his whole family and Chrysler wouldn't pay up - therefore the slating the Crossfire (and now the 300C) have got. Chrysler are doomed with that moron I'm afraid. (he said it looked like a dog having a poo! loon)".
I'm not sure how true it is but makes you wonder...
I guess looks are subjective, but IMO I don't think there is really that much wrong with the cornering compared to its rivals.
