#45 of 1520 Chrysler and Celine Dion by oedipus1608 Feb 21, 2003 (12:09 pm)
I saw the Super Bowl commercial with Celine Dion in the Chrysler Crossfire. I sent an email to Chrysler asking them if they were marketing the Crossfire towards women. Their response is below.   Thank you for your email regarding Chrysler's association with Celine Dion.   Chrysler has teamed up with Celine Dion because we feel she portrays a wholesome attitude and image and embodies the family values that Chrysler tries to promote. Through her collaboration with Chrysler, we feel she will help us reach a wider potential consumer base since her music appeals to a wide audience.   We are not trying to market the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire as a "ladies'" or "men's" car, per se. We are simply trying to make the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire an appealing car to multiple segments of the car-buying population, and by doing that, we sometimes find that certain attributes of the vehicle appeal more to certain specific car-buying groups.   We are certainly not trying to alienate any segments of the car-buying public. I apologize if you feel our advertising is doing this.   Thank you again for sharing your opinion with us.
#46 of 1520 Chrysler Crossfire performance by oedipus1608 Feb 22, 2003 (2:48 pm)
The Crossfire shares the same 215hp engine with the MB SLK320. I looked at a past review of the SLK and it said that the SLK320 arrived at 60mph in 6.5 seconds. If that is so, the Crossfire might achieve a 0-60 time of 6 or less because it weighs less than the SLK.

#49 of 1520 Edmunds SLK 0-60 time for SLK by oedipus1608 Feb 23, 2003 (2:57 pm)
The SLK230's supercharged four-cylinder engine (SLK230) makes 192 horsepower, but for those who prefer the smooth torquey feel of a V6, the SLK320 offers a 3.2-liter, 215 horsepower V6. A six-speed manual is standard on both models, with a five-speed TouchShift automanual optional. The 0-to-60 mph sprinting ability of either model is respectable, with the 230 running that dash in around 7.5 seconds and the 320 beating that time by around a second. As one would expect, the performance of the SLK32 is thrilling, as it dispatches that performance yardstick in just 4.8 ticks of the stopwatch.   Notice that the Edmunds said that the SLK230 has a 0-60 time of 7.5 and the SLK320 has a 0-60 time a second less than the SLK230 which would be as I said before 6.5 seconds.

#51 of 1520 Saw one on the road by kburcrof Feb 26, 2003 (7:23 am)
I saw a Crossfire on the road in Detroit. The features I liked were: Fin that came up when the vehicle was accelerating. Nice metallic paint. Very distinctive styling. It was a head turner.

Well gang, I just finished watching Motor Week and they highlighted a 215 Turbo Neon,which they reported went from 0-60 in 6.0 flat on the Georgia Speedway. However, they did point out the track was cold and damp, which leads me to think it could do better with hot tires. If the engine being used is the same turbo as in the Neon it should be adequate.......I think. However, I still feel with 18" tires, it needs for HP. Maybe they are trying to save the transmission and drivetrain. It will be interesting to see what type of warranty comes with this car.
#54 of 1520 No Turbo by xa4 Feb 27, 2003 (8:40 pm)
Where did you get that they are putting a turbo in the Crossfire? It's equipped with the Mercedes 3.2 liter.
