Motor Trend has published a list of cars that are less than ten years old, and cost less than $10,000 dollars. The Crossfire is there, and is amongst good company - the 2002-2003 Jaguar XKR, 2002-2004 Audi TT and the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. The styling pretty much does it for the Crossfire:

Exclusivity plays a part in our selection of the Chrysler Crossfire, which was based on a Mercedes-Benz SLK but had styling like nothing we’d ever seen.

A great piece on the Crossfire from Motorcities.

What does the future hold for the Crossfire - is it a valuable collector’s car or just another forgotten model? Well one thing is certain: the Crossfire has a dedicated and faithful following; if the passion of the current owner’s is any indicator, bet on the former. It isn’t likely the doors of history will close on this rare, attractive and fun car. Although, the Crossfire coupé and roadster siblings may come from a broken home, these orphans will be sure to claim their rightful place in automotive history.

The cost of filling our Crossfires is ever increasing, and I suspect that some of us are cutting down on the driving where possible. The question “Is that journey necessary?” certainly seems to be in the back of my mind these days. I’m saving the car for longer journeys, using public transort and my own leg power for local travel.

An article on the BBC News web site explores how people are altering their driving habits to help save fuel.

The article contains some common sense advice, but well worth a read.
