all Z owners look at this
My grandfather purchased the first Crossfire in his town (Augusta, ME) when they were brand new...
...He sold it three months later because he was dissapointed with the performance...my GRANDFATHER was dissapointed with the performance...true story

To the original poster: I don't like to see the joy of getting a new car diminished by critical comments of others. However, WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN?? You post a seemingly taunting thread and pics of a mediocre car in a forum where people are passionately devoted to a car superior in every way. If you like the Crossfire, then great, I'm happy for you; enjoy. But try finding a forum more receptive to the choice you made. I was not impressed with the Crossfire when I test drove it, and I remain unimpressed w/ your photos and posts. Post somewhere where you can expect a warmer reception that won't ruin the fun of having a new car and possibly create buyer's remorse.

poop on your crossfire.
,,l,,
I test drove one of those Crossfire thingymabobbers. It sucked. Im 5'4" and weigh 165lbs and I felt cramped. It had no go, no low end anything, and the power seat controls and seatbelts were a B*%$# to get to. My GF wanted one and I quickly advised against. I thought this was a 350Z forum anyways??? She ended up getting a 2005 Mustang.

Imagine if the Z wasn't so nice looking or popular, and had mediocre handling.
Now, imagine going to a vette forum and starting a thread with "all vette owners look at this!"

personally, i think the crossfire is attractive (although now that you guys have said it, it does look like its taking a dump. LOL!).
If it fit someone bigger than 5'-nothing, then maybe they'd sell more. After TRYING to get in one, I determined that it must be designed for chicks. Granted, at 6'5", I'm above average, but I wasn't even CLOSE to fitting in this car. I've got more room in a Miata or S2000 than the Xfire. But, apparently, you're a small dude, so enjoy your car, don't be a hater, and don't try to race a Z, and I'm sure you'll continue to be happy.
LOL!!! All these posts are amazing... If anyone here watches Dave Chappelle... it reminds me of the haters ball!
"I hate you,I hate you, I don't even know you and I hate you...I wish all the bad things in life happen to you, and to you only" - Dave Chappelle during his "Player Hater's Ball" sketch.
The Crossfire maybe slow... but it still is a mercedes! Thats the one thing its got going for it!
I never had a problem once with it... nor with my Z... im not dissing on anything... im just stating... in some eyes its ugly and it is slow for sure... but for an old woman it would be a great car!

Definition of "Chrysler Disease":
1980's - the distinct sound of a car "trying" to start.
Viper - It took 10 cylinders to achieve what Ford and GM can do with 8 cyclinders, and the car still sounds like a diesel tractor.
Crossfire - Ummmm...and I should care about this car why?

Taurran:*walks to car from Subway shop, clutching in his hand a foot long wrapped Southwestern Steak sandwich like a precious diamond.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner: (In nasal voice) "Hi there, I just noticed your headlights do not have the solar reflectiveness of my Straussburg Germany made Crossfire".
Taurran:*ignores the nerd and reaches for his keys.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner:*coughs to get his attention "ummm, I find the lumbar support of the 350Z to not provide enough stiffness to the L-9 vertebrate, which translated into vehicular motion on an earthquake ridden freeway, to cost exactly 10hp".
Taurran:*ignores the nerd and opens his car door.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner: (In nasal voice) "actually...now that I see your car within my prime range of vision (adjusts eyeglasses), I can also say with 99.89% acccuracy that my Crossfire has superior aerodynamics as evidenced by the rear wing which erects itself at speeds above 55 mph".
Old woman standing nearby:"He said erection! Oh my virgin ears!"
Taurran: *ignores the nerd and starts car.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner: *Now getting a nosebleed "Ah gee, lets see...oh yeah...the "Turbanator" which comes stock with my Crossfire is much more superior than the stock intake of the 350Z...just watch as I place my anemometer in front of your grill as you start you car...please don't rev your car I'll get a nosebleed...oh crap, I already have one...oh sorry...maybe I shouldnt have cursed...SHAZZAM!
Taurran: *ignores the nerd drives away.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner:*too slow and out of shape to avoid taurrans car gets hit as he passes by at a blistering 5mph..."ow! you hit me!...oh I can see by the reflection of your Zaino embossed paint job that your pain is inferior to my X-Fires paint as well - oooowwww I think my arms broke!"
Police Officer: * notices the nerd laying injured in the parking lot, and briefly weighs public service versus Shipley donuts and decides his hunger for donuts far outweighs an injured person, and just drives by.
Nerdy X-Fire Owner:*screams in agony as the police officer madly swerves to avoid running over a squirrel and runs the nerd over instead.
Taurran: *In a Hooters far far away enjoys his wings...
