Deco,I wasn't comparing the CrossFire to the Corvette.I was comparing the new T-Bird to the Corvette.

When the 50's T-Bird was introduced,it was touted as Ford's direct competition to the Corvette.Both being V8 powered,two seaters......But the T-Bird NEVER made the grade as a performer.Style wise,it was indeed beautiful....but it was no sports car.After three years as a two seat Convertible Hardtop and lagging sales...Ford decided they couldn't compete with the Corvette.The Second Generation T-Bird was redesigned as a 4 seater and larger,thus ending it's competition with Corvette.

The same is occuring with the new T-Bird(although never labled as a direct Corvette competitor).After 3 production years so far,lack luster sales and numerous gliches....it is to see final production in 2006 in it's current form.Ironically,the next gen T-Bird to follow,is once again at this point to be a 4 seater convertible.History repeating................

I merely mentioned the T-Bird because you guys could be experiencing the frustrating problems those owners did..for a higher price.

No,I for one would much rather be able to own a CrossFire if I could.
