What I would really like to see from GM is a 2 seater the same size as Crossfire, except in mid-engine form. 300+ hp would be nice as well. With the Corvette moving up in hp, a 300hp car isnt going to threaten the precious Corvette.
Many of GM's competitors are bringing out small performance coupe's-where is anything from gm? (sorry but i dont consider the miata clone solstice to be a performance car)

Good for them. I really like the SRT-4, and I think the crossfire is a better platform to start with. They know what people want.. Something thats fast as hell, and really cheap, and they hit the nail on the head w/ the srt-4. High 13's, decent looks, nice wheels, viper seats, good suspension all for 20K. The crossfire should be badass.

Lotus will be selling the elise here in 2004 and vw is rumored to produce the mid-engine concept R.

With 330HP this car is going to be real fast. I think it is about time too, I always thought this car was underpowered.
This cars should be about to get into the high 12's stock

What do you want to bet that in the Crossfire it's a coarse, unreliable POS . . . and in the Mercedes it's a fine example of bulletproof German engineering?
I'll be waiting to read this in Car & Drivel!

what surprises me is that Merc hasn't developed a new 6 to take its place. its possibly the oldest engine they have in their entire lineup at this point. :/

They are nice cars. In October only around 600 sold that month. The problem is the price 35k and the fact the car has only 215 hp. A flagship car should deliver more than this. For comparison the new z car starts at 26k, yet has over 280hp.
