Uhm... dont forget one thing... its made on an SLK base... yes...
but thats the OLD SLK chassis. Not the new one.
So the new SLK is actually still better than the Crossfire...
not that its any better than the old one in the first place. :p

I'm afraid even Mercedes will not be able to rescue Chrysler from its own reputation. Let's face it, they build crap. I have many friends who got burned with Chrysler and swear they will never buy another. Several now drive Mazdas ( I admit I had something to do with that ).
So us RX8 owners are in trouble? I don't think so. If anything, the Crossfire will make our cars look even better.

So it's got bigger breaks, stiffer shocks, meatier tires and a supercharged 18-valve V6 engine (which is straight out of the SLK/AMG using a 5 speed automatic AutoStick). Plus, a nifty new rear wing and front air dam. Curb weight of the car is 3240 pounds. All priced at $45,696.
IMHO, I'd stlll enjoy the RX-8 over the ST-6
:D

Crossfire: MB engineering + German assembly = very decent pedigree.
SRT/6: MB engineering + German assembly + AMG parts = one more for the RWD sports car revival.
JohnnyB = I'd rather not comment.

I read the article as well. It has the recirculating ball and a 0.38Cd.
IMO, the SRT-6 is a very promising cruiser. Good for the autobahn; bad for the twisties.

His summary went something like this:
Looks like a dog doing a poo
slow
uncomfortable
expensive
cramped interior with a narrow trunk
awful gearbox
no back seat
engine doesn't make any sporty sounds
ride is terrible
isn't even economical
on the other hand, you may have already seen his review of the RX-8 .... he raved about it. The only fault he found was a bit of nervousness on wet roads.

You guys are in even more trouble than jonnyb says... earlier today I heard someone on the street say that they thought the Maserati Quattroporte was a great car. Since it has 4 doors and a back seat, I guess you better start worrying about sales of the RX-8........

Hold on i think I have something crazy in my ear. A Crossfire getting a good review? I think the write-up sounded more like this -
"Of course the Crossfire is a great car. It is a real technical marvel. Can I have my money now?"
I treat Crossfires the way I treat rice rockets, Z cars, people who can't drive their 4th Gen Supras/Corvette Z06's, etc.: I WASTE EM.' I hate to be xenophobic, but the American engineering that was put into was once again terrible. Is there any domestic car out there that has a quality build to it? I'm not biased, because I love the Corvette. Okay never mind I am.

Unfortunately, American manufacturers have lost people like you as customers, and perhaps even deservedly so, given the way they took their customers for granted for so long. But are there good American cars out there, and quality wise, the gap has narrowed to the point where it is no longer an issue.
Believe me, they ARE listening hard.
