For fun, I was looking at the Kelly Blue Book listing for the Crossfire. Down the page, on the lower left, it listed 3 "similar models". No surprise on the first one...the Nissan 350Z. Even for me, this was my second choice. The next car listed... BMW Z4. Again, no real surprise. It's another sporty car that is well made and is clearly fun to drive. Then came the third and last "similar model"... Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

SAY WHAT???

 

A freaking Monte Carlo??? Not even in the same universe!!! What was this guy smoking???

 

Haha that's funny... that's like comparing a jetta with a crown victoria.

 

I've always been intrigued by the Monte Carlo. It's huge for a coupe yet the people from Detroit still market and style it as a "american sports car classic". Lacking power in the base models and substantially heavier it has almost nothing in common with the XFire... except that its a two door car.
