Crossfire roadsters are too common
Crossfire roadsters are too common
On my drive home from the office early this afternoon, I stopped at a traffic light, and there were 3 of us at the intersection. My yellow roadster and two blue ones. How often does that happen? Crossfires are getting too common around here, like Lamborghinis and Bentleys. I think it's time to find something a little more exclusive.

Re: Crossfire roadsters are too common
I can see why they would be popular in FL. You might have also had a dealer in the area that was liquidating the last of them. There is an area around Dallas/Ft. Worth where Crossfires are common because a dealer in that area was snatching them up and selling them cheap.

I have to agree to this. I see more coming to the Northwest, I bought our second Xfire from Wyoming. I see a few around town but, they don't know there is a Club (CICCI) or there is a friendly Forum. If you look where most are being sold from, that would be in Florida, Texas, and the Midwest. Notice most are in the hotter climates. I only wish that more show up in the Northwest, (like Colarado) to have a local club. Getting together with owners who think their Crossfires more than just a car but, good times with others is what this car is all about. It is fun to drive again...I will never go back to anything else. I love the complements, I love the car. I love the fun it brings. It must have showed, my wife had to have one also!

They are all over the place in Florida and when they dropped the price on them a few years ago the dealerships around here had lots full of them with $10,000 off stickers all over the windshields. Not to mention the fact that with no snow they are year round transportation.

Re: Crossfire roadsters are too common
Sometimes on a sunny Sunday morning I'll take a drive along the coast from Dana Point to Long Beach and back. I'll see more Lamboghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, and Maseratis than Crossfires - in fact, on those drives I almost never see another Crossfire.

Re: Crossfire roadsters are too common
Mike,
You are right. A drive down PCH, on the weekend, is it's own car show. Mercedese are the Cheverolets of Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Newport crowd. I think There are more Lambos, Masserrati's and Ferrari's per capata than anywhere else in the world. Not to mention Rolls Royce, Bently's Porche's, Panterras and Custom Hot Rods and Classics of all kinds. It is amazing. The value of all of those vehicles being driven has got to be astronomical. The Crossfire does still get glimpses of attention though.

Re: Crossfire roadsters are too common
On our recent Epic journey to the Dragon and then CT Cathy and I saw only one Crossfire other than those of The Group at Fontana.
It was a white roadster who's driver pretended not to notice three aero blue SRT's following Jane Bridges' Graphite SRT thru Kentucky.
However, we did see two Porsche four door sedans (weird) and a sea of Prius cars trying to prove they could go as fast in traffic as our SRT's.
