What is impressive about the Crossfire is what is under the hood as the car features a powerful 215 horsepower 3.2-liter V6 engine that has awesome pick up as it accelerates from 0-60 mph in an impressive 4.9 seconds and hits a top speed of 154 mph.

How do people who write about cars get simple facts like this incorrect?

Yes... he probably (the original article author) should have looked a the Chrysler released information like this site did.

Ah well... I've sent the original article author a scathing 'tisk-tisk'...

Re: Another Crossfire Write up.

Did anyone else get the impression that was written by a pubescent 15 year old who looked up pictures and stats (incorrect ones at that) online? I mean sure it's great that its a positive review, but honestly. I kept getting the sense this guy had never driven a XFire in his life.

Re: Another Crossfire Write up.

My first thought was, how much Chrysler pay him to write this? Too many superlatives.

Re: Another Crossfire Write up.

As if the factual errors weren't enough, the grammar and spelling errors are everywhere. Oh well. He meant well - at least it's not a review that slams the car unfairly like so many do.
