Yes, they're autos.
Only the SRT's were autos, the regular Crossfires are both.

I was refering to the SRT.

A 6-speed manual is standard on the coupe and roadster. Optional 5-speed auto.

i am not surprised. they didnt even sell that well around here. my nieghbor has one. in HS some of the kids had them. one fo our teachers. my uncle has one. but u dont see them everywhere like other american produtcs. BTW the new escape is disgusting. the old one was decent. why doesnt ford just bend over and make it easier for toyota to rape them.

I liked them as well, but I think the niche they were supposed to fill was better filled by the Nissan 350Z or even the Porsche Boxster.........

Dusty
Exactly. Hence me buying a new 350Z in January instead of a Crossfire. Hmmmm, 215hp for 35K, or 300hp for 30K..........[&:] They do look good though. (IMO)

Perhaps they'll get the formula right with the upcoming Demon?

There IS a difference between the Crossfire and the Solstice...The Crossfire again; is considered a LUXURY sports car; the Solstice isnt!

You are right Dakota....but really, you are arguing a point no one really gives a **** about.

It was a sporty luxury two seater, that wasn't really all that fast even in SRT form, too small for me to fit in comfortably and zero luggage space in the hatch. The fact that it was built from MB parts bins from a discontinued model only sealed the cars fate before it was ever produced.

yeah I think the crossfire was a waste to be produced in the first place, and the solstice was by far the better car, you will enver get a convertible, and a car looking that good for the price of the solstice.

What are you talking about SRT form? There never was an SRT version available, so how would you know how fast it would've been?
