Default Does The Crossfire Have A Rival?

Do you think the Crossfire has a rival car? we all know about the BMW M's Vs Mercedes AMG's, Ford Vs GMH, and so on. But does the crossfire have a rival? maybe Crossfire Vs Mercedes?

Z4 Coupe 3.0 is what I believe to be the closest thing to the Limited Coupe.

Z4 M Coupe for the SRT-6.

The 350Z is in there too.

And yet an new SRT can be had for less than any of those cars base price... I guess you could compare a Crossfire to them.

I can't think of any real rival... the dealer depreciation puts our car in a different class. It doesn't compare to anything in it's MSRP range and dominates everything below it.

I agree that the XFire seems to be in a class all it's own. As far as any rivals Don't think there are any. Considering styling, engineering, drivability, perma-grin factor and price, the XFire stands alone !

Not saying this because we obviously all own one, but the only cars I think are better looking then our crossfires are the supercars e.g. Lamborghini, Bugatti's, Maclarens, Ferraris not even the Porches match a crossfire visually. Just today I was following an E46 M3 and I honestly think the Crossfire looks much better. Sure performance might not be matched but I tell you what the SRT-6 is a force to be reckoned with not much will keep up with it and thats without mods

As mexico63 said the Berea 3200 is pretty close to the Xfire but I think it's a fair bit more $$$ wise and it's an Alfa I dont really see an Alfa as a sporty type car it's like having a Volvo or Saab lol.

BOOOH!!!


The Sky is butt ugly and I think it's aimed toward the ladies...


That being said, I would buy one if the price was right, as long as it's the Redline.. that's got some good power....

Both the Pontica and Saturn version interiors are subpar vs. the Crossfire. This car has one of the best interiors of any Chrysler I've been in. It reminds me of my old 450 SLC.

Audi TT and 350Z for sure.

After watching an episode of Top Gear where they compared all 3 in Iceland (I think it was there, maybe Greenland), I can see why these would be placed in the same class. Crossfire is definitely cheaper than both though.

Also I can see why the Solstice and the Sky would be rivals with this car.

I think the Crossfire has more "bullys" then rivals...because lets face it.. as cool as the Crossfire looks, any car can kick it's butt performance wise.. (besides the SRT..)!

Again this obsession with 1/4 mile performance rears it's ugly head. Why must this one single talent that seems to elude all NA Crossfires, be the one thing that objectifies them in the eyes of some of our so called Crossfire brethren.
40 years ago, some of the fastest cars at the Drags were of the "Pony" car variety. And yet it wasn't unusual for some big old, (big cubed) full size Pontiac GP, Olds Starfire, Buick Riveria, Buick Wildcat, Chevy Caprice, 427 Galaxy, or some light weight small block Dart, Nova, or Falcon would come along and spank em every now and then.
But when it would come down to which car would you rather drive home, especially if you lived on the other side of the canyon, well I don't know about you, but give me one those Trans Am competitors.

Agree, when you ask for rivals I gave you cars that have similar dimensions, similar seating, front engined rear wheel drive and performance SIMILAR to each other.
