IMO esthetics easily outweigh price & reasonable power today , but not initially .
I'm an 83 old hot rodder who has owned Carreras , blown drag machines , etc , & have a pristine 06 unaltered blk base coupe that doesn't get driven much cause I just admire it too much !
Prices are definitely rising on these cars , even w/ the financial mess we are in , as more folks are discovering these hidden diamonds .
The hideous new bulbous designs on the road today I feel perpetuate the appreciation for past more attractive vehicles IMO.
I wouldn't deem the Crossfire itself a failure but the Corporation who owned it certaiinly mismanaged it's short life .
