Default Any Crossfires in Spain?

Are there any Crossfire owners in Spain? Love to hook up with anyone in the Barcelona area come Jan when I'll be there for vacation. The car I liked the most there last year was a car we can't import into the U.S. called Smart. I think it is a venture between BMW and Swatch. What a cool car. Love to meet some Xfire owners from over there

Is that right? Mercedes,huh? I knew there was a reason I liked that car!!! I would love to keep one in the back of my YukonXL instead of a spare tire, it should fit in the same area as the current spare tire Really wish we could import them, it must be incredible on gas.

:shock: It's almost small enough to fit in the XF boot (where we don't have a spare) :!: :wink:

I saw them everywhere in Spain last year and the convertible version is even better. Not a power top though, not that it would be anything very big to put up and down, heck an umbrella would probably work. with our fuel crunch you would think someone would be trying to get those imported here. The mileage must be higher than most cars here now.
I'm loving my xfire mileage compared with that of the Yukon XL. And that seems to be the excuse my wife has been using to drive it, "better mileage-saving money"

I work with a guy who has actually chipped his Smart Car. He gets over 60 miles to the UK gallon and its quite nippy.

He also has no worries about parking, and his insurance is almost zero.

They are great for urban use, but feedback is that they are not the most comfortable for long drives.

Check out the tuning site for Smart:

www.smartsrus.com

Apparently it costs ’215 to chip a Smart.

It's funny that in the UK we have had to wait for Smart to produce a right-hand drive version. Now they do, they decide to sell them in the US? I hope they give you LHD versions.

Yeah! You must get a picture of a Smart parked next to one of your big truck things.

If you ever get to Legoland in the UK, on the Holland model there is a lego model of a Smart. It even looks cool when its really small.

no way!!! I tell you what, some of the Chrysler dealers are probably thinking they will have to start storing the Crossfires this way if they don't start moving a little more. My dealer is really stacked up.

I own a Crossfire of 2006 but brought into Traffic in 2009, its not a convertable but originaly factory painted in a private design, grey and silver on the roof and back, also no "Crossfire" mentioned on the outside of the car.
I am in the Alicante area
