I'm back to the search for the quote:
"Built on the Mercedes R170/SLK320 platform... the Crossfire has taken on, sort of, a cult following."

I stumbled across this article / write up
I'll warn you this writer must have been having a very bad day when he wrote this ......GEEZ WTF ?? !!!!!

seems to me that bloke must have gotten ahold of a preproduction piece. Thank god that people don't have to depend on newspapers to do their thinking for them any more. Viva la Internet!

I am sure I lifted the quote from an article sometime between the day I bought my first XF (July 2009) and when I bought the Graphite (December 2010). I KNOW I've had the sigline since I moved to Cumming, GA in November of 2011.

I had it saved on my drive, but that computer's drive died sometime just before I moved in 2011.

It sounds like it was a paraphrase of the quote given in post 13. Chas is looking for his copy of the article.

Great story but not where the phrase came from
For those who didn't see the story though ...click here >>https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/319204-post1.html
Anyone who has not read that probably should.
