I hate to say it but I'm gona have to trade my crossfire in for one. The only thing that bothers me is that front grill and the very nose of the hood. But I haven't seen one up close, and we all know cars look diffrent in person..

I think majority of their target customers are the Crossfire afficionados who are more inclined of the DC styling and design the fact that the Crossfire will end its production on 2007 which is the target year for the Firepower to launch.

Why stick with an old styling when there's a new millenium design of cars out there like the Crossfire and Firepower? Why stick to the decade long design of the Porsche, Audi, NSX, Mustang and Corvettes ( the C6 changed though...the headlights!) when there's a new car like the Crossfire and Firepower for the next generation of car enthusiasts who are now in their 30's?

About the pricing, I think its better and reasonable than the NSX who has inferior interior, old design and less HP with a price almost the same as the Viper and the Lotus Esprit.

I don't think I wanna pass this world where a corvettte still looks like the corvette 20+ years ago?

I agree with pulling new buyers but it's the old guys that are always wanting something new and then go back to their Porsche or Corvette instead!

As for the NSX it was and is THE BEST JAPANESE SPORTSCAR EVER BUILT, and that's right it was exspensive $61K when it came out about the same price as a Old Porsche at the time. Remember it was hand built and almost 100% aluminum only about 3,000 units a year an that was it. Now 15 years later the car is old and priced at 85,000. But now we have $50,000 dollar Corvettes on every corner and an SRT6 for 40k that nobody is buying!
The FIREPOWER would be nice for 50k since it looks like an Astin Martin or Jag for about 20-50 less! I would love to drive one. I hope they ask all Crossfire owners out for a test drive.

Just playing devil's advocate here, because I've never ridden in one, but the most popular sports car brand (not necessarily by sales numbers, but rather by recognition and "cool factor") in Japan is NOT the NSX...it's the Nissan Skyline. The Skyline isn't exactly an exotic like the NSX is...but it's got tremendous "ricer" appeal, much better performance figures than the NSX, a lower entry price, much better warranty figures, etc.

That being said...honestly I'd still rather have the NSX
