Long-term tests

Chrysler Crossfire

I'm a sucker for a wild-looking car. There's none of this understated 'good taste' design for me - my motors have to stand out from the crowd. If the performance and exhaust note send a tingle up my spine, too, then all the better.

Hailing from the golden age of the American automobile, my own wheels are hardly restrained. My husband and I have six Stateside classics between us, from a 1929 Ford Model A hot rod to a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, with several fins-and-chrome cruisers and a Chevrolet pick-up filling the years in between.
But if I could find space in my garage - and a spare few quid in my purse - I'd add a Crossfire to my collection. My favourite of the Auto Express fleet, it is in many ways the spiritual successor to my Road Runner. It may lack the Plymouth's 350bhp-plus muscle, yet both are Chrysler-built performance coup
