| I didn't officially "crash" the party but the cars were on display for all to see. 2-3 bags would fit def. fit without any problem. No options mentioned. I personally only saw red, silver and white. No pricing info whatsoever. Nada. I heard the Crossfire was being filmed on the road during the week. Who knows?? | |

At the Motor Trend show in B'more, MD, they have a silver one up on display. And yes, Philly, it does indeed look SO much better in person. I was just staring at it...the interior looks great in person, as does the whole vehicle. I find it funny, though, that they are trumpeting the German-American collaboration when the only think I hate about the Crossfire is the German 215 hp V6. What about putting the Chrysler 2.7L and supercharging it, like they did in the concept? (I am assuming it was the Chrysler 2.7L they used...) Or indeed, the 4 cyl. SRT-4 engine produces a minimum of 215 hp...some have rated it easily at 223 at the wheels, or even more. and torque is wonderful too. |

The Crossfire (and other Chrysler vehicles) is going on tour. You'll need to call the toll-free number to get the schedule. http://www.chrysler.com/route2003/chrysler.html |

TheCarConnection.com has driven the Crossfire and given it a positive review: http://thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=5900 |

It seems that Chrysler asked the press to hold off on their reviews until about the same day. Mostly good stuff. http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/0304_chrysler_crossfire/ http://www.boston.com/cars/news/040203_crossfire.html http://www.globeandmail.com/globemegawheels/20030403/crossfire.ht- ml |

Since MB is starting to replace the 3.2L with the 3.7L in their line up (ML 350 was first), I would think the Crossfire would get it by the '06 MY. |

And the preliminary review answers the question most of us had: the car will be almost entirely about style and not competitive in performance areas .... not that this is a condemnation or even a criticism, but Chrysler needs a broad market and so is putting out a beautiful car that, like the PT Cruiser and other Chryslers, is about lookin'good. The aftermarket hasn't been able to do too much with the Benz version of the engine, however, and the comments on the seating suggest upgrades would be needed on the interior, too. So I wouldn't hold out much hope there. Too bad. I was hoping for an American car other than the Vette to allow some drivers to get serious. For now, it sounds like Chrysler has opted for another Thunderbird. Not surprising, but personally a little disappointing. JW |
