Default Something to Consider!

Some of you say you'd never get rid of your Xfire. Well, I think I'll do whatever I can to get one of these first year limited models. They are taking orders right now at $37.995. They aren't going to last with the new 35 MPG line avg. standards approaching. It's like 1970 all over again, in more ways than one.

Production photos!

But wait, there's more!! "Only 37 grand you say?" Ha, check this out!

Too bad it weighs 4100 lbs.. Theyre going to be like 2 door chargers. Still really cool though.

We are finally heading back to the future with some of the new models. Good for Dodge. You have to have a two door model to look/act like a pony/muscle car.

The four door imitation cars are a joke to me.

4100 lbs is a bit hefty. Maybe that's why this car with nearly 500 hp has a reported 0-60 in the low 5s instead of the sub 5s. Looks like the SRT6 will still give it a run!

lol for real! mo but dont you think that lower valanceon the rear bumper should be color matched? it makes it look like the exhaust is just hanging there. actually over all it looks like they cheap the whole thing up from the concept, like a harbor freight wrench next to a snap on.

Sure you could, just put a few "CUDA" emblems on it like Chrysler should have done right from the start.

I wonder if anyone will come up with some kit or something to convert it to a Cuda? I know someone made a one-off from a Charger.

I can't believe that is the interior. I know people dog the Crossfire interiror, but come on.

Actually I already have one on order. I'm getting the silver....mostly because I think it'll be the least produced color.

I plan to drive it for a day or two....get some pictures with the crossfire.....then store it up north at my parents place in a heated barn for a whole lotta years. I know there's bound to be people telling me I'm nuts for getting a car as an investment and that I'll loose money.....From where I'm standing it's a win-win situation for me.....in 30 years I'll either have a extremely valuable car....or a gread ultra-low mileage classic to have fun with while everyone else is driving some hybrid thing!

Actually the interior is pretty nice in person, and fits me way better than the Crossfire......it even has it's own version of the G-Tech meter.
