They love the DB9 but hate the Crossfire ... that's weird since they both have VERY similar lines. I am convinced that the designer of the Crossfire was in love with Aston Martins. It was my love of the Vanquish that made the Crossfire catch my eye. Same wide rear wheel flares, dropped nose that looks like it is getting ready to pounce, same criticism by Jeremy Clarkson .....

The Astons are curvier, have better proportions and the rooflines don't end as abruptly as the Xfire's. The roofline in the Astons have a nice gradual declination that terminates nicely into the rear. The Xfire's line drops abruptly downwards. The overall look of the Astons are much more elegant and sexy than Xfire's. You can't really deny what the above pictures spell out. Please, Don't Take This The Wrong Way!!!!!
I can't really disagree with some of their comments on ugliest cars. I'm not going to touch the #37 entry. People already know my opinion on that, and lord knows I've already been flamed enough on that subject.

The Aztek was a shoe-in, and will be for as long as time continues though.
I definantly agree on the MB 300SL, Ferrari 250GT, Jag E-Type, Lotus Elan, Lambo Miura, Datsun 240Z, Acura NSX, RX-7(FD only!), Aston DB9 and (surprise...not) Audi A5, although I'd take the faster S5 myself.
I disagree on that god awful Citroen though.

Don't get me wrong ... I'm not saying they are twins, more like cousins. I look at the 2 cars & see how some of the lines in the Vanquish could have INSPIRED some of the lines in the Crossfire.

Were I to publish a list of "my" 50 most beautiful cars of all time, this one would be very close to the top.

Continental GT maybe. It's an 03 and the XFire is an 04. The other 2 can't be inspirations, unless you go into the DB7's timeline. Technically it can't be any of those 3(the XK, DB9 or C GT). The main design language of the Xfire can be traced to the 01 Xfire Concept.

At $163,000 I appreciate my $25,000 Crossfire roadster even more. I live in a real world...
