Opinions about Your Crossfire's Body Style
 
Depending on which angle you look at it, your Crossfire could take on multiple personalities (at least that’s my opinion).:)

Re: Opinions about Your Crossfire’s Body Style
 
This is not intended as a cop-out, but I think the car looks great from any angle. The reason is that the body of the car is a skillful merging of two strong shapes. The wide front fenders taper to the rear and (on the coupe) the roofline and side glass continue the taper right to the rear bumper. Meanwhile, the wide and muscular looking rear of the car tapers toward the front, disappearing completely at the side strakes. Adding tension and tautness to the skin is a finely creased edge that runs from the taillights to the front wheelwell. As the dividing line between the two tapers, this edge reveals the exact point where the two shapes intersect right below the side mirrors. Here, seen as an enlongated "x," the horizontal top surface of the rear fender suddenly inverts to form the shadow detail above the strake. Also, the raised ridge that runs from the front splitter to the rear bumper is like the spine of an animal, a beast ready to spring forward. From bumper to bumper the designers have integrated these two shapes into a single form that is the embodiment of power, speed, and grace. I find it absolutely beautiful from every angle.

I like looking at the Crossfire from a rear quarter view.

I voted "From the Side"

From the rear, you can see how the hole for the license plate is not made for an american car, like the prototype:

vs:

https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle...00miles001.jpg

But, from the front, it looks similar to a sebring.

From the side, it looks like nothing else on the road:

That was good - very nice flow to it and necessary to read a few times like a fine wine. How about a follow-up description of a beatutiful woman.

I have not yet found a view angle of my Crossfire that I do not like.
But my favorite view would have to be from the driver's seat, top down and a curvey, uninterrupted, blacktop stretched out seductively in front.

BTW Is it me or do others feel like a cigarette after they read FastFunfor2's post.

Even better when you have a curvey, golden-tanned lady beside you, grabbing your arm as you zip around the winding roads on a hillside.

And to heck with a cigarette, I lit up a Oliva Serie V corona... :)

Someone once asked a wise man to define happiness...

"Happiness", the man replied, "is a good cigar, and a good woman. Or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness one can handle"

This, is literary brilliance. :D
