Re: Is the Crossfire ever really a "HOT" car?
To be a "hot" car ripe for multiple thefts it must be first, popular, second vanilla so it does not stick out.
And APB on a white Celica would have cops cross-eyed looking at possible vehicles on the road. If you said a Safire blue crossfire, they likely know where both of them are in the city.
Crossfire body parts are very expensive so, for that purpose, they might be desirable. But it is still risky to try and hide Crossie parts in a bone yard of front clips and fenders.
I cannot remember ever hearing of a stolen one.
