Just to clarify, when I said other exotics, I was refering to the lambo's, rare C & D type Jaguars etc, not the crossfire .......didn't mean to start a war .....just pointing out it was there, amongst all those money cars.
Anyway I guess not many people saw it ........

 

I love watching the progress of these threads...

 

I happen to be proud that my car displays a Chrysler emblem, even if it's the only thing that was "assembled in the US" on the car. I'm not going to debate Webster's definition of exotic, or compare its looks to anything else. I love my car. I'm not about sticking out like a sore thumb and have been razzed for going plain Jane on my vehicles - not replacing decals after a paint job that give away what's under the hood. A little mystery is attractive.

Now, back to the original thread subject - no, I missed that, but does anybody remember the episode of Family Guy when they were in Vegas and there was one zipping through the casino ??

 

Yesterday, while working on the xf in the driveway, 2 teens were walking-by. I heard one say "wow, that's a Datsun". I assume the kid was visuallizing the 240z

 

They must have an interest in cars. I doubt many teens would of even heard of a Datsun.

 

Ive had my car mistaken for a sebring twice from the same person, a "cadillac" more times than I can remember... someone told me its porshe looking. Most of which after, I turned and walked away. Never once have I had someone say its an exotic..... The closest reference was that it looks like a space ship, which I agree with

 

Here is my "Bentley" and my (dearly departed) XF. Shortly after I bought the 300, one of my friend's kids asked if I was rich... ah, appearances are not wasted on the uninformed.

 

I was wiping my Red roadster down in a mall parking lot two years ago after rinsing it off at a car wash.

I had the top down, had it all shiny and looking wonderful, when three teen boys drove by in a F150 and one said, "Nice car - is that a Bentley?"

I hollered back, "No, it's esstentiially a Mercedes SLK with a Chrysler logo on each end..."

The answer, "Yea, well, it's still a nice car."

 

Two "Bentley" threads in 2 weeks. A new record.

 

My SRT-6 was displayed on the track at Charlotte Motor Speedway Auto Fair for three days last month. Andrew made up Daimler Phantom logo's for the front and back to cover over the Chrysler emblems. Some called it a Kit Car and some said Daimler must be a new import car company. Squirrel Crusher

 

My girlfriend wasn't a huge fan of the car when I brought it home.. we went out to dinner that night and on our way back out to the car she walked up to a Porsche 911 (she loves Porsches) thinking it was my car.. I got a good laugh at her

 

My only Bentley encounter was nearly 5 years ago.

Even if I was insanely rich, I don't think I would ever own an exotic car. I might splurge and buy a new Acura NSX (when they come out).
But the Bently coupe has always intrigued me, and it's one exotic car I might consider.
Personally, I've always thought it had a subtle "Family" resemblance.
to the XF.

 

So our crossfires do resemble a Bentley? That is strange!

 

The only comment I hear is "My parents had one. they loved it." The important word is"had". Gary
