Great pics but a not so nice review. I especially don't agree with the last paragraph.

The Crossfire did not raise our heartbeats, nor did it invoke some emotion while driving. The exterior of the car is great by any standard, but get behind the wheel, and drive it daily and you are left with a feeling that you can easily forget. You do not get out of the car saying gmy god I want to go drive this thing againh. If the Crossfire was more willing to talk to its driver, perhaps it would truly be a sports car.

I think the author of this article is a big doo doo head. :cry: :evil: :?

I think that writer should reread his own Test drive .He must be a Porsche guy.or maybe a V-8 guy.The XF is great and he knows it.If you want boring drive a SL500 for $90k !Or a XLR for $80k,You can have a XF cpe and convert for those prices ! And 4x the looks.

I agree the writer of that article needs a frontal labotomy...or a bottle in front of him. I was parked next to a 350Z the other day and there was more buzz about my XFire Roadster than the 350z Roadster. Our cars are beautifully designed and built.

The writer of the test article doesn't appreciate this type of automoble. He is probably into $200K plus cars. I took my XF to our annual Cruise (500-600 entries) and got as much attention as most of the hot rods.

Default klaben in Kent Ohio has two + an SRT

Klaben Chrysler on Rt 59 in Kent, Ohio (East of Akron, southeast of Cleveland 1-800-686-3139) has two(red and SSB) limited roadsters, a black SRT-6 coupe and a silver coupe. Ask for Mark Kaiser he treated me great when I bought my black limited roadster. The dealership accepted supplier discount if you have it(3k off sticker). They also talked about accepting the friends program, but I am not sure of that. Tell Mark that Larry Prince sent you.

Living in the center of london i see alot of new/classic cars on the road however but the attention i have taken in my brand new 2004 xfire roadster is much more then my friends Mercedez SL65 dont get me wrong its a lovely car on the road but its been around since 2002 already its known to the eye even with its BITURBO again a lovely car but as i said its known to the eye since 2002
The Xfire however is a whole new system of style aerodynamics concept & a much much more sexyer motor. Beeing a bentley turbo ownermy self dousent mean1 has to talk bad about cheaper motor cars this is my feeling who talked bad about OUR XFIRES a wonderderfull car!!!
Oh just to let every 1 know i was on the A40 towards oxford at the red light next to me was a pourche cayan turbo now there is a chance he dident know how to drive this car but i left him around 3 car lenths behind from stand still from the red light my car is stock at the moment but not for long engine wise around 3 milles later i had to slow down to see at the back if it was a Turbo & it was confirmed it was a TURBO p.s i dident trash my car in this matter !!!

I am really tired of the F-Ing B.S. about people ragging on the X-fire. It is a car unlike any other car. These A-Holes just can't appreciate the subtle fine points of this fine ride

I've had NOTHING but drooling praise...but....I've only had my precision machine for 2 weeks now....
Even in today's rain in Louisville, Kentucky I've been stared at in the heavy rain.

I'm impressed at the looks I get, and I'm impressed at the handling and actual gas mileage I get!!

I love this beautiful car!!
