Most will agree that the Xfire gets much more appreciation NOW than it did in its debut. Due to the rarity (not many sold) you don't see them tooling around much, hence they garner attention. Every time I gas up people ask me what "year" it is, thinking it's much newer than it really is. I say "Ya, the car got no love when it came out". But you slap some coilovers on it, lower and adjust the compression/dampening, get a Eurocharge tune, and it will certainly keep up and in many cases pass up cars 10 years newer. Funny thing is the "polarizing" styling that most people didn't like back in '04/'05, now seems to be much better viewed in 2013. Maybe it was a car made before "its time".....
