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
#77 of 1521 3.2L/3.7L MB Engine by peccles Apr 02, 2003 (10:40 am)
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.
#78 of 1521 Now a "First Drive" on Edmund's by jwilson1 Apr 02, 2003 (1:04 pm)
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
#80 of 1521 You can win a Crossfire from Bestbuy by gcomstock1 Apr 13, 2003 (6:50 pm)
They are running a promo at BestBuy dot com. Click on the Celine Dion link near the bottom of the page; single entry by 5/4. Five winners get a trip for two to Vegas to see her show; one of them will win a new 2004 Crossfire ARV $38K per the rules.

#82 of 1521 So Disappointed in Chrylser/Crossfire by bagekko Apr 15, 2003 (6:56 am)
I found out that only those dealers that make a special commitment will get the Crossfire (ie pay extra/bid for them) so that means every single dealer will be selling them way over MSRP b/c they had to pay over invoice. So that will definitely put the car $40k. Combined w/ ordinary performance b/c no supercharged engine right away. Equals big waste of money!!! Why would they produce a Thunderbird like disaster, I hope to see them sitting on the lot unsold! BAD MOVE CHRYSLER!!! You had something with a lot of potential and BLEW IT!! I'll just get another BMW, which won't depreciate $1000 a month like the Crossfire will...

I am not following your argument. If the Crossfire's are just going to be sitting on the lot, why would the dealer's overcharge for them?   Usually, you charge less for products that do not sell and more for those that do.   Is there a reason Chrysler dealers would want to price something so high no one bought it? As far as I know, you can only make profits on sales if you actually make a sale.
#84 of 1521 Crossfire Overcharge by bagekko Apr 15, 2003 (10:21 am)
It's pretty simple and I thought my logic was clear. Dealers will be charging over MSRP b/c Chrysler is basically giving the cars to the highest bidder ie over normal invoice, so to make a profit the dealer will have overcharge for them. So they "should" be sitting on the lot b/c any intelligent person would realize that you could get an overall better car for less money...ie 350Z, BMW 3 Coupe or Z4, TT. I do not expect an dealer to be charging less than $40k for the base...ouch!   The only reason I was gonna get a crossfire is if it was eligible for the dealer employee discount.
