#28 of 1519 Supercharged Crossfire by xa4 Feb 10, 2003 (1:39 pm)
It's more than expected that Chrysler will launch the Crossfire with the base 215 hp engine and then bump it up in the following years. Practically every car from a Neon to a 911 has gone through this power improvement process.   Here's something that may make you want to wait another year for your Crossfire:   http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evo_news_story.php?id=31338
#29 of 1519 Why wait by moparfever Feb 10, 2003 (6:20 pm)
I don't understand the reason for waiting. It sounds like procrastination and just when you think they can't take it any further they will then when will you buy. I am all for purchase now and buy again later. If you think about it if you bought the 01 PT then you would be in line for the 04 convert. Funny how brand loyalty has gone down the tubes. It also is what drives trade in values down.
#30 of 1519 It's still a Chrysler.... by jwilson1 Feb 11, 2003 (2:20 pm)
another good reason to wait a year! Actually, this is a good, practical thing to do with most any car, even the Japanese.   Brand loyalty? Hmmmm. Are you a dealer? You sound like a dealer? Dealers say things like that, along with "How do you expect me to feed my kids with this deal?" and "No, the warranty doesn't cover the engine if it falls out."   JW

Question to you all? If Chrysler is such a bad product it certainly creates alot of discussion. Why the heebie jeebies of a good product?
#32 of 1519 Huh? by xa4 Feb 12, 2003 (9:46 am)
Why the heebie jeebies of a good product? Huh?
#33 of 1519 Did you mean... by jwilson1 Feb 12, 2003 (11:27 am)
"why the heebie jeebies of a NEW product?"   If so: because it is a new product.   And Chryslers always have a high level of interest. Among the Big 3 they are the only auto company that is willing to take risks. (some would say they have to, but that's a different story) The fact is that Chrysler's styling, as you should know, has always been advanced ... at least since 1936. They've just never been able to engineer the parts and assemble them with reliability and still make a profit.   Second year products tend to have some of the glitches ironed out.   JW

What is different here is that the Crossfire is built off an existing Mercedes platform by Karman in Germany. It is kind of hard to judge the Crossfire with Chrysler perceptions when in reality it will be more Mercedes than Chrysler.
#35 of 1519 AHHHHHHHHHHH by jamessr Feb 12, 2003 (4:53 pm)
Riddle me this then. Where does Infiniti come from? Where does Lexus come from? Where does Acura come from? Yes tis true a Mercedes with Chrysler badging but how many other Automakers have made not of there own and worked well? Chrysler says elegant, sophisticated, eccentric. Put it together with German engineering and you have an awesome combo of German engineering with American inginuity. And for those who doubt first time out Auto's. What about the Jeep Liberty

You are trying so hard to be creative I really do not know what point you are trying to make.   However, you cannot say that Chrysler is not of Daimler (the parent of Mercedes). Daimler and Chrysler merged years ago.   The Crossfire was designed by designers in Auburn Hills, MI. But to save money making it, Daimler used mainly existing Mercedes platform components. Superficially, it looks unlike any MB. But underneath what you see, it will pretty much be an MB, for better or worse.    There really is no riddle about it.
#37 of 1519 Creative! by jamessr Feb 13, 2003 (2:49 pm)
Okay let's keep it simple It's a good looking design and it's new.
