Great vid huh. I posted that in a thread unrelated to the Crossfire just to show that yes, this car is a joke. There was so much hype about it being the perfect blend between American and German engineering, but I had my doubts. Looks like I was right. Seems fit because everyday I drive to work I go by a Chrysler dealer and see a bunch on the lot, while I think I've seen 2 or 3 in my lofe on the streets...

It's a good-looking car but with some cheap plastic hardware inside, and for any of you over about 5' 9" or so it is pretty cramped inside, just like most small 2-seaters.

I've always thought that was a horrible looking car, and I'm glad that this guy has given me some factual reasons to hate it now, other than its uglyness

OMG, I just watched it. HILARIOUS!!! Jeremy recommends instead:
1. Toyota Celica for 6,000 pounds less
2. RX-8 for 5,000 pounds less
Said the decision was a no brainer.

He had NOTHING positive to say about the car.

Go onto Kazaa. Clarkson has some awsome reviews of Ferraris, Porsches, Mercedes, etc. My favorite is the R34 Skyline review.

Wow, I think he is probably the most honest editor around. I mean, I can't picture anyone from C&D/R&T/MT saying things like that about ANY car.

I gotta give it to these Europeans that says it like it is.
