Yup, I was simultaneously looking at the SRT6 ragtop and the SLK55. I've said it in this thread and countless times elsewhere. I like the Crossfire looks. I think Eric Stoddard did a stunning job with the styling. Hell, I bought a coupe. And I enjoyed it. But in the end I decided to move on to something newer and better. And yes, the SLK55 is a better car all around. It should be. It's more expensive and a much newer design with a lot more content.

Why do you people have trouble looking at the Crossfire objectively? People hated the fvcking car. It was a sales disaster. Chrysler had to dump the very limited inventory in auctions to get rid of the product. Top Gear crapped on the car. Go on any other car forum and tell them you absolutely love the Crossfire. You'll get laughed at. These things are cheap as hell for a reason. But that's why the car became an incredible bargain to those who did like the styling and understood what it is.

Rejoice in your bargain but admit that this car just wasn't.....well.....almost anyone's cup of tea. That car would a Boxster or an M3.

And no I'm not fickle. I decided I didn't want to "settle" again, that's all. This time I got the car that will satisfy all my needs / desires for a daily driver in my environment. No compromises.
