if he likes it that's all that matters.

I would have gone with Rx-8 personally :) but crossfire isnt bad.

Looks-wise... it takes getting used to, but it sure does turn heads.

Just isn't extremly fast. It does handle extremely well though.

Why did he get an auto?
Yea.. I was going to say, there isn't really anything wrong with "only" 215hp, that's still more than most cars on the road.

Although, it does seem weak for a V6.. at least compared to say, the Maxima. Although, the VQ is a bit bigger at 3.5L.
I just think it's weak for a $35k car that's supposed to be a sports car and definitely looks the part.
Pretty much the same only the rx-8 is fugly .
I bet the rx8 seats four a lot better :) It's also MUCH cheaper for the base model.
the 99 maxima's had 3.0's and they made 225 hp or so i think.
99s were only 190 with 205 torque. The 2000-2001 had 222 (01 anniversary had 227), then 2002-3 they had 255 with a 3.5 liter. The latter two will beat the crossfire at the lights ;)
