Is it me or do all the recent coupes coming out look like some variation of the Auidi TT ?

 

[FrustratedUser]

rear end is not that great looking. Looks good besides that.

 

[Rent]

not a big fan of it, but its very nice nontheless. I'd love to take one for a test drive

Huh?? I see no TT in this car. This car is the anti-TT

 

[Phuz]

I'd rather have this.

 

[Conky]

My father will want one of those. He has a serious Chrysler fetish. I've never been attracted to mopars.

 

[ElFenix]

the auto gets better mileage than the stick. odd.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

That rear end is disgusting. Rest of it looks nice.

 

[toant103]

wow, nice interior. But kinda expensive and it's weak. Only 215HP

 

[adlep]

Nice, Chrysler brand morphs into Mercedes brand...
Nice

From the article:

A favorite feature of mine is the cargo space that communicates directly with the main cockpit.

So he's impressed that it's just like every other hatchback ever made? I fail to see how a hatchback with a cargo area that is accessable from the cockpit is something special.

Only problem I see with it is the weak Mercedes engine. 215hp and 229ft-lbs isn't going to keep up very well with a 350z. The dodge 3.5l isn't as smooth but its 244hp and 250ft-lbs might do a little better or throw a 345hp HEMI in it . I'd buy it with a HEMI in it, well if I had $40k to blow on a car.

Looks like Nissan Z wannabe

If they threw the Hemi into this car...DROOL. This damn thing only weighs 3,000 lbs vs around 3,300 for the V6 powered 350Z. Crossfire (even at let's say 3,100 pounds for a Hemi version) + Hemi + 6-speed = 350Z killer

Too bad it is made by Chrysler.

I would really like Dodge to bring the Razor to production, at the suggested 14K price.

 

[Lola]

I LOVE this car, i would love to own one! Its sleek and the interrior is great!

 

[ndee]

the rear end is major suckage but the front is kinda cool. Love those M3-like thingies on the side.

So the Crossfire will be a crappy car of poor quality?

 

[sandorski]

sweeet

Did you even READ the article? The car is basically a Mercedes SLK (engine, chassis, suspension, brakes, safety equipment, transmission, interior) with a different body and is built in Germany by Karmann.

It's basically a Mercedes with a different body. I'd place Mercedes above Audi/VW in reliability/quality (minus interiors).

Mercedes are not very good cars, as far as quality goes. I would not call them horribly unreliable, but certainly not what one would expect.

It doesn't look like anything else on the road, IMO. It's an interesting car, but I probably wouldn't buy it over a G35 coupe.
