Figures the one time i miss leno he has a cool car on the show. I have seen pics of it before in Motor Trend though. There is even a pic of Jay in some red one seater car in the back of one of the MT issues.

Crossfire Why not call it the Chrysler Kill Zone?

Whatever it is, it has the worst name for a car since GM's "Impact".

Other bad car names:

Ford's "Probe"
Daihatsu's "Charade" (actually appropriate - but stupid)
Merkur XR4ti
Windstar

Maybe even worse are cheesy,computer generated, meaningless names like Elantra, Catera, Alero

If only you knew how the Japanese named their home market cars...

What do you think of the Nissan Every Joy Pop Turbo?

i would have to agree with my esteemed collegue...it's not the best looking outside, and the inside is far worse...but thanks for posting the link.

To heck with "miles to empty," the Crossfire's real-time dash-mounted performance computer keeps occupants up to date on important stuff like acceleration, braking, and handling numbers.

Ahhh, thanks Rock Dog, missed that sentence. Hell, if I'm doing any kind of serious (requires attention) driving the last place I want to look for information is on a gauge on the passenger side, even if the cabin is narrow. Jeezz!

They just announced they are actually going to build this. I doubt that gauge will make it into production though. Besides I think it's meant to keep the passengers occupied, while your pulling some hair raising manuver!

Looks like Chrysler and GM think they have an idea of what the future should be like... YEAHRIGHT. GM is gonna build the blackhawk too and it looks, at elast design-wise along the lines of this crossfire.
