I legitimately had no idea that these existed. I saw one when I was on vacation and driving into Seattle.

The guy driving it was some Pahjeet who had debadged it and caged it. I was absolutely confused by it. It looked almost like an Aston Martin from the front (with the mods he added)

>>17331766
My boss drives one with a borla exhaust system. Sounds pretty good.

>>17331926
I heard the SRT package crossfires were actually kind of fun to drive.

>>17331836
My brother in law got one when they came out. Sold it in a month.

I saw one last week north Myrtle Beach in Murrel's Inlet. It was actually hauling ass around a line of traffic I was in through a yellow striped area to make a green left hand turn arrow. Actually got to hear its V8 for like the first time ever.

I see both of these on occasion. Not extremely common, but I've seen them maybe 4-5 times each since I moved to the US in 2015.
>>17331926
I've only seen 2 since 2015.

I actually really liked the Phaeton I drove at the dealership I worked at. It didn't make sense, it defnitely competing with proper German luxury cars like the 7-seriea with none of the brand prestiege

I guess all 10,000 of these are located in my hometown. That said, it does have a fucking massive population of tasteless boomers

Fucking Prowlers...

>>17332470
This happened to me too.
I saw one on my entire lifetime and I live in Yurp

i had no idea they still made this pile of shit GMT400 in 2000

who would consciously buy this knowing that the new GMT800 suburban and tahoe were already out? and you could also get them with a nicer interior?

I was behind one at a Taco Bell drivethru. Don't think I've ever seen another.
>>17332537
I've only seen 2.

>>17333285
yes i do, neighbor had one

>>17333285
Yes, they come in for oil changes all the time at my quick lube joint, as well as the Mercury Montego version. It's just a Taurus, they even renamed it to Taurus/Sable for 2008 because the name Five Hundred meant nothing to anyone.

Back in the days when I was a kid, I saw one in car magazine. Shit was stunning as hell.

>>17331766
I see one of these regularly. Can't tell if someone that works at the college owns it, but it's always across the street.

>>17331836
I've seen one of these once and still don't believe it

>>17331926
Used to work at a gas station in which there was a regular customer with one of these. He was a fat boomer and all around asshole in the store

>>17331983
Much like how the Crossfire was just a discount lower build quality SLK, the SRT-6 was just a discount lower build quality SLK 32 AMG.

>>17333346
I have one of these.

>>17331836
Saw one of these the other day at a Publix. I completely forgot they existed until then.
