Sorry to say this, but, I would NEVER swap my STOCK, current 6-speed '04 Crossfire for an XLR! I just can't see myself sitting in an interior with plastics suitable for a children's toy. The fact that it's an automatic is icing on the cake!
Nevertheless, there are smarter options, even at the $55k price range, but it's the love of the Crossfire and the chance to be unique that makes it appealing to me.
