Crossfire roadtest

Clicky here (http://www.autoworldforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3009)

Canadian Driver's road test of the new Crossfire. From the tests ive read here in England, its a great car and should do well against the German and Japanese competition. If only AMG could get their hands on it.

yea drop there super charged v-6 in there hmmm....

I here it's a crappy car..Top gear did some testing on it and those brit's hated it.. First off, it's slugish.. it weighs like 3300 and only has like 220 horsepower.. the steering wheel is huge and the gear box supposedly blows goats.. not to mention the retarded rear end...i dunno, i guess it's ok for a guy tired of cadiliacs or something lol... it's too senior citizen for me i guess..

I have to agree,I don't know how much it costs.But,with a car that looks like that.When they put a v6 in it.It screams senior citizen.Not that there's anything wrong with that.If that's the demographics you're going for.But,it seems that you'd sell a whole lot less cars for that price.Why could'nt they put a 318,or 360 in it??? Because they can't make it for a decent price. I have definitely lost faith in Chrysler,oh wait (I never had it to begin with,sorry.)

first off, they havent made a 318 or 360 in a few years now, so thats out the window, second the gears are nice and smoth and well ratioed, good low and top end, and the twin turbo version will be out soon, oh and the price, on the convertable that i pdi'd the oter day is 53000 canadian dollars

working for dodge I know that the Crossfire will be getting a supercharger this year the name for it will be a SRT-6...Starting MSRP Coupe 45,695.00, Roadster 49,995.00. 3.2lir V6 with 330HP and 310 lb.ft. of torque.

Whats so senior citizen about the Chrysler Crossfire?
Its a cool looking car and i wish I had one!
I have never driven it but so far the only two things I don't like about it is that it has a V6 and I have heard that if your over 6 feet tall you'll have problems fitting in one.

Im 6'4'' and I fit good.

Thats odd.
Samurai, have you driven in it. I heard that it can be a little uncomfortable if your driving it afte awhile. Maybe I heard wrong.

I'm sorry, I have not had a chance to read any of the comments posted in this thread for a couple of months. They have not made a 318, or 360 for a few years???? What about the 360(5.9)
in my ex-wife's Durango, or the 318 in my friends truck, I'm thinking it's 95-96'ish????
