Woah there old man! Your making me feel really good here

! I could easily be your father. Still I'm able to keep my wrinkled hands griping my 8's wheel, and would rate comfort, even at my advanced age - pretty pleasant.

Do you mean that the Crossfire's suspension reflexes and steering are more 'soft' {I've never driven one}, or power is less edgy, or that the seats and ergonomics are more Chrysler like, or what?

I was at a chrysler dealership in Indy and had a chance to ride in the new roadster. It was black w/ black and cedar leather interior. I have to admit is was pretty sweet looking. Now I'm torn between the RX8 and this car. Damn, this is going to be a hard decision to make when the time comes to buy my new toy.

The Crossfire SRT-6 versions are coming out in the fall and will have 330+ hp, insted of the base 215 hp. They should be a lot of fun.

That's fine with me that you don't like any chrysler products. Were all entitled to our opinions. I love the 8 as well as the crossfire, but I am 13 years older than you and have different priorities than someone in their early twenties.

I'm not sure what your needs and priorities are, but the crossfire is a small 2 seater with a tight interior, which also has very limited cargo space. I'm looking at the TT V6 and the 300C insted of a Crossfire, because each offers a high level of luxury, performance and cargo space. I'm in my early 20's. I'm not sure what your looking for in a sports car, or a roadster if that's the case, but if your completely sold on the Crossfire, try holding out to see the Crossfire SRT-6 model. Personally, I'd say the TT is more comfortable than a Crossfire - the TT has a more roomier interior, higher level of luxury, awd, a lot more cargo space. It is luxurious so it doesn't seem like your driving "a kids car," if that's how you feel, also it gets over 22 in the city and close to 30 mpg on the highway. I'd say that the TT is a overall better package than the Crossfire, but it is slightly more money than the Crossfire. But whatever you go with, goodluck with, and don't forget to post pics.
