Looks aside, the Fiero is just so much more
compelling in every way. I mean the huge recall for
those burning Iron Dukes alone makes it more interesting
than the Crossfire, which is afterthought of the failed
Daimler-Chrysler marriage of equals. The Fiero isn't
just a more interesting car, it's better at being bad.
The Crossfire wasn't even that bad of a car. It just
fell short of expectations and didn't really excel at
anything. On its best and worst days, the Fiero is
simply a better option for enthusiasts.

Ha ha...I like that.

I did test drive a 2001 Mercedes_SLK, which the
Crossfire is based on. At that time, the car list
priced at $50K. I could not help but think the $50K
bought a lot of newer technology that made the driving
feel just like ...... my Fiero. Hence, today, I'm still
driving my Fiero and not a Mercedes Benz SLK or a
Crossfire.

The guy I bought my Fiero from told me he was replacing it with a
Crossfire.
