Bob don't get me wrong you've bought a great, beautiful car... but power and technology-wise it is outdated and outdone... Appearance-wise it is not... Mercedes and Jaguar are the two poorest rated car manufacturers in the industry to begin with (correct me if I'm wrong, if they are not then they are ONE of the lowest) so you knew what you were getting into there... And aside from that the biggest problem is Chrysler wanting to replace it... Enjoy your beautiful Crossfire! It is a great car! It has good power, just not for the price bracket it was put into, does that make sense? Anyway... My whole suggestion here is just to keep if for the next year until spring rolls around again and then jump off the bandwagon before the new Firepower breaks that's all... Cause in the end Chrysler is gonna thank you for supporting their struggling halo / icon car by screwing you over...
