Terry	Please excuse my ignorance to commenting directly through the poll. Did it seem odd to any of you that anyone who was a Prowler owner (assuming that they bought it themselves) would give up their Prowler for the coming Crossfire? While the Crossfire seems to have a sports car appeal, it's nothing like a Prowler (as if any other car is, ha!). I can appreciate slightly the 4% who posted "maybe", but the 1% that would definitely trade... I just can't see it. Any thoughts out there?... Am I being just too narrow minded? Terry
tangled up in BLUE	....They probably haven't seen a real Crossfire I wouldn't trade a Prowler for several Crossfires.....just not what I want in a car....
whealy	Personally, I’m not interested in the Crossfire. But I certainly wouldn’t discredit someone (no implying that’s what’s being done here) just because they wanted to get one even if they were trading their Prowler to get it. Everyone has different tastes and financial resources. To each his/her own. ------------------
Terry	Please let it be stated that I am not trying to discredit anyone wishing to trade their Prowler for a Crossfire or any other car for that manner. What I don't understand is: Certain attributes of the Prowler attacked each of us to wanting to own one. What attributes are now lacking in the Prowler that the Crossfire better fits? Is it a maintenance thing? But if so, why another Chrysler product? Is it a hard top need? Maybe... Performance concern?... But from what I recollect the Crossfire isn't expected to be any quicker. Maybe it's as simple as a styling change? It's a curiosity thing for me, Terry
Blue Kat	You know, there are some of us that want anything new, especially in cars, and to be the first one on the block to have one. Before I bought my Kat, I had thought of waiting for the Crossfire. I'm glad I didn't, I love my Prowler, and the Crossfire just doesn't have the same appeal.

Terry	Thanks Blue Kat, I'd hadn't thought of the "first-one-on -the-block syndrome." That is definitely a strong appeal. What about Dodge's Razor? I saw one at a car show this year. Terry
BrianandDenise	The 1% could also be just a goofball throwing the mix. I don't have a Prowler yet but check the board during the week. I could see where someone clicks to upset. I never click on the polls I am not a Prowner, but this is much nicer than the Corvette boards so I like it here. Someday Corvette = 1/2 of 1997 Prowler.
Blue Kat	Terry, the Razor is a cool car for sure, just not many whistles and bells. It was designed to be a bare bones, inexpensive toy car . . . and it's fits the bill. I'd still keep the Kat!
JRL	Actually the Crossfire is a really neat car but has absolutly nothing in common with a Prowler at all except that they're both built by DC and they both have 2 seats. They shouldn't be compared at all. JRL
ed monahan	Personally I do not understand anyone selling their Prowler for ANY other car. That is just my opinion, however. I am sure there are financial concerns, divorces, lemon laws etc that could force me to change my mind, but I don't see it in my future. I am shocked by the number of used Prowlers for sale. Again, it is just my opinion and absolutely none of my business.
Paul	Ed, you've been warned about expressing opinions, haven't you? Really, Ed's right on, to each their own. While there's never been a car to compare to the Prowler (and probably never will be) the Crossfire's not unattractive and suits the country club set a little more. It's more like a 3-piece suit kind of roadster, more formal, with a, I'd say, more European image. This message has been edited by Paul on 06-06-2003 at 11:40 PM
ed monahan	Paul, trust me, if you knew me personally you would know I never take anyone's advice and love to bend the rules. My mom is still alive and she will vouch for that statement. lol. Don't tell Sandy, though. She still hasn't figured it out. lol
indy96	The Crossfire is nice....but part with my Kat?? Not. If I had the wherewithall and the space, I'd certainly consider one for an every day driver...and with all this rain it may not be a bad idea!
CTProwler	This weekend was my first Prowler Event. If you have ever attended such a fine run event with 54 Kats you would never sell it for a Crossfire!!Just can't see 54 guys and gals getting together to cruise around in one of those.(Period) ------------------
JeraneW	I have DRIVEN the Crossfire and it is neat. If I did not own a Prowler, I would take it over the Audi and Boxter but the Prowler is in a class of its own and nothing out there can compare!

Blue Kat	I would buy a Crossfire, in addition to my Prowler, but I need a car that will seat 4. Chrysler has several nice ones set for release in the next couple of model years. I keep thinking about trading my Grand Cherokee for a PT Turbo.
meancat	Well said CTProwler!!!
idive	I just returned from Archer South dealership and they got their first Crossfure in today. Had a salesman take me around back to look at it. Not too bad a car but its no Prowler. Will be going back tomorrow and hopefully might get to take some pics. Will update if I do. ------------------ Mickey 1997 Plymouth Prowler #156 Mopar front splash guards Real Rod stainless steel transmission cooler cover 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE Longhorn scratches Boomerschlobber :flag:
YellowFever	To alot of folks, the Prowler was a fad and like any other fad, it ran it's course and alot who had to be the first or had to have one, now do and don't want it anymore (ie. onto the next fad). Other folks, like myself, change cars alot. Some I keep, some I trade, some I buy just to play with for awhile (knowing I really didn't care for it) then sell. The prowler, while fun, to me anyway, is a nonsensical car. For most of us, it's way too impractical for a daily driver. I suspect some of those sales are from folks who bought one because they liked it alot but, then realized later that it was not good for hauling the little ones to school, IMO. Now the crossfire, is not much more practical but, it is the new flavor of the month so.....
CWatsonJr	Went to pick up my kat at the dealer today (recall work) and they have a black Crossfire in. It is comfortable to sit in and I liked it more than what I saw in the auto show. Might be because I was able to crawl in it and look all over it. The engine is too small... 3.2L - I am sure they could have fit a hemi under there somehow. I like the 6 speed though... that was kewl. Anyway, I still wouldn't trade my kat for it ------------------ Cliff Watson See My Prowler Page 2K1 Mulholland, Colorshift Flames, Mud Flaps, TGF Side Panels, TGF Bumper Covers, Eric Wolf Chrome Tranny Cooler, Blueberry Shimmers, Front Ceramic Pads, Homemade Top Brace, SSS Muffler, Weekender. 2001 Dakota SLT+ CC (Patriot Blue) 1998 Durango SLT+ (Intense Blue) X - 1998 Honda Accord X - 1991 Dodge Spirit X - 1965 Ford Mustang (289) X - 1994 Dodge Daytona Turbo X - 1971 Ford Pinto (The Rust Bucket)

Every day for me in that car..It's either that or walk to work! The Crossfire is for people who want a Mercedes SLK for about $10K less. that's about it.
