Iceland
Attachment 45607 I was in Iceland last week for vacation and as I was driving from Reykjavik to a more southeastern part of the country, I caught what looked like a crossfire out of the corner of my eye. As any owner here would do, I immediately cut a u-turn and went back to get a look at the car. Looked pretty much like what we got here in the states. I didn't spend much time studying the features of the car as I think I was parked in the owner's driveway. They probably thought some lunatic was trying to vandalize the car as I showed up in a chevy aveo. The last thing I expected to see on this trip was a crossfire. Anyone ever have a double-take when they came across a crossfire during the course of their travels? |

If memory serves, I think there was a forum member who lives/lived in Reykjavik.

The strangest part of this is where the OP says he was on Vacation in Iceland! Where the heck do you have to live where going to Iceland seems like a good idea?? :)

I'd love to go back and this time rent an appropriate vehicle, ie, a proper 4x4. Good food, good beer, awesome landscapes, lots of hiking, some fantastic natural wonders, and reasonably friendly people. What else does one really need? |

Well, it certainly looks like you ran into icefire's car. From your picture, you can make out the VU 2, and what looks like an 8. Here is his car:

Funny coincidence:) This is my old Crossfire. I sold that car 3 years ago. The car is now located @ Selfoss (approx 40 min from Reykjavik).

Considering how the XF handles in ice and snow, did you just drive it in the summer? If not, how DID it handle in the ice and snow of ICEland?

As I mentioned in that thread, Iceland is the last place I would want to have a crossfire. But I did see some pretty nice cars when I was in Reykjavik. I did see a perfect VW touareg TDI at the VW dealer I visited while there. I bet it would have been perfect to conquer the dirt roads off route 1. Anyway, you've got a beautiful country! Most people I have spoken to in the US about going Iceland talk about going there for 4 days to party in Reykjavik. But those people are selling the rest of the country short! I had one hell of a great hike up to Glymur. |

Was that due to the low clearance, or was it a problem to steer it?

The story below has been posted here before, but at any rate it should qualify for one of the most unusual places a Crossfire has been spotted.

Obviously a clear case of a failure of the rear wing to deploy.

When I had the Xfire I also had a Corvette C6 Z51 and Corvette C5 and the were both better in snow. |
