Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
Driving to and from work today I have seen 4 other Crossfires - 1 blue Roadster I see most days, 30 secs later a red Roadster, a blue SRT6 Coupe, and a silver Coupe. All within 10miles of home in the Great Yarmouth area of Norfolk UK - weird

Re: Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
I would not exactly say rare. Sure there were only 2016 SRT Coupes and 928 SRT Roadsters, but there were @ 70,000 NA's built.
EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed that this was a U.K. thread.

I seldom see them. However, there was a 6th month period where I was commutting through a town where there was a Chrysler dealer that dumped a bunch of Crossfires on the market. I saw several every day during that time.

77? I thought the official count was 79 and a Kompressor?
I see ONE here in town, guy is about 70 years old and is in his every day - still works at a tire store. It's an SSB Coupe.
I have seen a Red Roadster in town twice in a year and a half, iwth a tag from a county about 50 miles north of here.
I think they qualify as "rare" or at least as "uncommon".

Re: Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
I think 5 in one day including mine makes them more common than a whole list of supposedly more common cars over here - less new type Beetles for instance or Fiat 500s. Remember this is on a 20mile round trip to work, not a Bank Holiday or special run. Mind you last time I was in Norwich I saw 4 Bentley coupes - what recession

Re: Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
I drove to Springfield MO this weekend from St Louis and saw none. Over 500 miles.
Ask me how many Mustangs I saw?
Ask me how many 350 and 370 Z's I saw.
Two Porshe Boxters
A half dozen Miata's
Today in Wentzville MO, I saw three Ford Thunderbird 2 seater models from 2000 or so. They are relatively rare
the only time I ever see a lot of Crossfire is at a GTG or when driving mywife's minivan.

Another guy said that wasn't true so they got into a fight, seems the second guy said that he'd seen 74.

Re: Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
There are US bases about 50/60 miles away which might be it but no other US cars particularily just Crossfires
Used to be more when I was a kid due to Americans over here for North Sea Oil - worked for Halliburton myself, but not many here now.

Re: Thought these cars were supposed to be rare?
When I drove 4100 miles round trip from Minneapolis to Seattle back in August, I didn't see ANY Crossfires other than my own.
Once I got to Seattle, I saw more Porsche Carrera GTs than I did Crossfires! Same goes for Ferrari 430 Scuderias. They must not have sold any XFs in Washington.

Hey all,
I believe Raleigh NC is the Crossfire capital. I see them all the time, I see several a week in all different colors during my massive 5 mi commute to work.
