The general opinion in this group has been negative, though not always for
what I would call objective reasons. (Daniel Stern further down represents
the prejudiced point of view rather well.)

Anyhow, it should be reasonably well made as it comes out of the Karmann
factory in Osnabrück.

Scroll down for Crossfire pics:

I saw a Crossfire Roadster driving around the Karmann factory last July. I
believe it hadn't been launched then. Also some Crossfires comingoff the
assembly line.

Somewhat off-topic, Karmann is involved in a 'convertible seminar' at the
end of this month.

It's all a function of what you want in a car. The Crossfire isn't the
fastest car on the lot - but for me it's the most fun. As for the looks, I
love it.

Its not that all dealers don't won't to work on them. Only certain dealers
are authorized as service centers for them. My wife works at a dealership.
They do not sell them becuase they cannot service them. She had to turn
down a sale of one and send the customer to another dealership to buy one.
She did get three more sales from the customer. The customer was a casino
looking ot give cars away for the month.

Hmmm - when I plug that into an online translator, it comes out: "Yes,
but, your pig throwers is not certified any longer!"

Guess Your online translator is right - that exactly what Daniel wrote. It
would be a whole different thing if You would put in "Scheinwerfer" ...

With the exception of a spurious plural on pig thrower, your translator
got it right. I drew inspiration from an eBay.de auction I saw about 18
months ago, in which some schlemiel was selling a "hauptschweinwerfer"
(sic) for a 1998 Volvo V70. Amazing. What *will* those clever Swedes think
up next in the exciting field of auto accessories?
