#17 of 1519 Nothing cheap about it by jwilson1 Feb 01, 2003 (11:04 am)
I saw it last night in Providence ... like all ofyou, I couldn't touch, but the interior and exterior looks very well put together. This one was the concept with the vertical headlights, but they had a video of a production model.   The immediate impact is 'stunning.' I recall the first time I saw the Prowler, and the first time I saw a PT Cruiser .... same effect. It lasted, in each case, through about 5 or 6 viewings, then the surprise and the charm wore off.   Maybe it is being marketed for women, but with a more potent engine it could appeal to an audience of 100% more people (and usually, car interest).   JW
#18 of 1519 Show Circuit?? by xa4 Feb 05, 2003 (3:10 pm)
Are there Crossfire prototypes out there making the PR mall tour? If so, does anyone have the schedules?   Thanks.   My $0.02: I think that 215 hp and 3000 lbs. will be quick enough for me. The Z4 has just 10 more hp and breaks 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. I'm just wondering if my golf clubs will cram into the back.
#19 of 1519 Think about it!!!! by moparfever Feb 07, 2003 (12:07 pm)
This car is not a Chevy, Honda, nor any of the cars that have massive HP along with a massive sticker. It's style, class, and elegance. If you want a race car then I suggest local drag strips or join the NHRA. I am sure with modifications you could build up to 300hp but why? I think most have forgotten the domestic market and this is Chryslers' way of saying hello again America. And just in case you have forgot purchasing American is the true American way.

"I am sure with modifications you could build up to 300hp but why?"   If Crossfire looked like Caravan, I'm sure it would be okay with everyone. But it looks like a bat outa heck ... most Americans like to be able to live up to whatever their image is: this one is fast.   "I think most have forgotten the domestic market and this is Chryslers' way of saying hello again America. And just in case you have forgot purchasing American is the true American way."   Malarkey. In this "free market" system, value wins the market. When the 'big 3' offer value, they win market share. If the Crossfire needs a bigger engine, even as an option, they'd best offer it for people who 'value'it, assuming there are enough of us, that is.   As it is, if the performance isn't there, there are some of us who will continue to be willing to pay a premium for German, Japanese, or anyone else who can come up with a car that goes like it looks.   JW Replies to this message: arewhyinoh (Dec 29, 2007 8:45 pm)
#21 of 1519 Well, Jwilson1, by logic1 Feb 07, 2003 (6:01 pm)
The Crossfire is quite German. It is built by karman in Germany on a Mercedes platform.
#22 of 1519 Tis true by moparfever Feb 08, 2003 (9:03 am)
Yes it is German and yes it would be nice to have the HP that it's competitors produce but riddle me this. Would you consider buying the C class Mercedes? It's nothing but an affordable Benz for the poor. When Hyundai made it's debut in the US it was trash but look at what they have done now. Did the Vette start with 405 HP? NO. It improved changed morphed if you will into what it is today. The most important thing to remember no matter the manufacturer noone is really willing to build an automobile with all of the capabilities it will ever have the first time out. This is just a taste of the direction Chrysler wants to head. If buyer's buy it and demand more i am sure Chrysler will give them more.
#23 of 1519 agreement by jwilson1 Feb 08, 2003 (10:38 am)
"The Crossfire is quite German. It is built by karman in Germany on a Mercedes platform."   Of course you're right. But the man was arguing for a Chrysler (American, he called it) purchase. Thanks for keeping it in perspective. (I hope no one tells us we have to wait for an AMG version :-}   JW
#24 of 1519 All points well taken by moparfever Feb 08, 2003 (11:22 am)
The funny thing is nowadays American isn't even American. i.e. PT -Mexico, Vans Canada, 300m, concorde Canada. What difference does it make? I will still order one and am sure quality and will be the best. Just unfortunate that numbers will be limited.
#25 of 1519 re: 23. Brilliant idea! by logic1 Feb 08, 2003 (12:00 pm)
Now you have me hoping there will be an AMG version.   And why not? The Crossfire is a Benz with Chrysler styling. What better Chrysler to be the first to get the AMG treatment?
