Opinions on the new crossfire?

I am looking at possibly getting the new chrysler crossfire. Do any of you own them or have an opinion on it?

Personally don't care for them.
A fella brought one to the track last month, it had 'brain failure'.....completely dead, towed home.

I'm curious what is it that attracts you to the car.

Gregg, I used to live in eau claire wis. but went to madison all the time. Almost went to school there. But back to the car, the things I like are that it's a hard top but vert at the same time, shoudl have decent performance while looking very presitgous(SP)I think, IMHO the exterior looks awesome, and it's a newer style that I don't think many if any people at my college will have. Any other suggestions for cars in a similar price range are welcome.

Audi TT 3.2DSG maybe??

there is huge gap on the MSRP on the Crossfire. are u looking at the high end or low end? IMO, it's pretty cool car but it's US built with MB leftover parts & technology. the 3.2 MB engine is not bad though.

My dad has a Crossfire. It is an extremly capable car. I had a blast with it. Brabus also has some power upgrades for it.

The fit and finish is MB quality, not chrystler. The handling and power is MB quality, not chrystler.

I was extremely impressed for $$.

I've only driven one we had in here to get wheel specs on and it was cool. But the gear shift **** came off in my hand. Not real good for first impressions! The SRT-6 would be the only one I bothered with.

I think it looks like the car from "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" cartoon on Saturday Night Live
