#30 of 1520 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 1520 Huh? by xa4 Feb 12, 2003 (9:46 am)

#33 of 1520 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 1520 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 1520 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.
#38 of 1520 And it is $30K+, that a V6 Accord can eat for lunch. by kevin111 Feb 17, 2003 (2:18 pm)
The Crossfire is a thing of beauty, with a nice exterior and interior design.   With that said:   215 hp, for 18" front wheels and 19" rear wheels is a pretty inadequate. If this car can break 0-60, in under 8 seconds, I would be impressed. That is a great deal of inertia to overcome with wheels that big.   If the car was priced in the low $20ks, I could see it, but not for +$30K without a little more power under the hood!   A V6 Camry right now will be able to give it a run for its money! They are planning to upgrade the power of the V6 Camry next year anyway.

To be sure if I understand you correctly, your position is that even for a limited run car, the only thing the market wants is to be able to win the stop light to stop light straight line drag race?   And interior appointments, ride, handling, and appearance count for nothing?
