I saw that on another board, I'm still undecided if I like it or not. I mean it's bad ass, but someone posted a side by side with the Chrylser crossfire, and they look VERY similar.

Crossfire look-alike? NO WAY!
Dude, the Crossfire doesn't compare. I think the Crossfire is shorter in length and the styling on the Crossfire is hideous. The GR-1 is styled after the Daytona Coupes only in a modern direction. The lines on the GR-1 are much cleaner than the Crossfire also. I don't really see a comparison.

I don't know......
I really can't make any comparison...the shape of the rear of the Crossfire looks stubby and almost a bubble shape to it and quirky bodylines. The fastback of the GR-1 is much more graceful and the lines on it are more muscular and flow much cleaner. Plus the Crossfie is shorter in length and just...stubby. I always thought that the crossfire would've been a lot cooler looking car if it were about a foot longer, cut the car in half from the side and add about a 1' section into it.
I think comparing these 2 cars would be like comparing a New Beetle with a Porsche 911....same but different? LOL
I promise not to kill the messanger! :-D
