What are your views on the Chrystler Crossfire ?

Answer 1

Let's see, I own one and it's an 04 coupe in Alabaster White.
Needless to say I love it, it has a 3.2 MB engine and built by German craftsmen at the Karmann Plant. Fitted with a Chrysler designed body and shipped around the globe. It is a great buy right now. I have personally sold several to people that have looked at my car at the shows I attend. The car is absolutely awsome and did I mention, I love every moment I'm in it. That's as much as I can.....It handles as well as any sports car out there. Great looking too.
Buy one immediately, if you can. I'll add that it is somewhat impractical but as I say that, I weigh the differences between it and the other cars I've owned.....none compare to it in performance, agility, style, drive ability and just pure, unadulterated unabashed fun! I enjoy every moment in this impractical, beautifully built car. Did I mention how much I love it?

I think they look pretty impracipal. I am not a huge fan on crossfires. But here I go. The name Crossfire comes as a reference to the distinctive character lines that run from front to rear through the body sides. They create a surface that is upward facing as it passes over the rear fender, but they cross mid-way through the door to form a downward facing surface as they reach the front fender. Also, since it shares elements from Chrysler and Daimler-Benz, the name is a reference to their collaboration.

The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual, and a 5-speed automatic is optional. Base Crossfires, originally sold beginning in the 2004 model year, are equipped with a 3.2 L, 18-valve, SOHC V6 engine which produces 215 hp and 229 ft·lb of torque.

The sales of the Crossfire have been slow, with an average 230 day supply of the vehicles as of November 2005. The Crossfire has been outselling its predecessor, the Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler ever since. In December, the cars were listed on Overstock.com to clear out inventory. Very few Crossfires were imported to the United States and Mexico for 2006 (and almost all of these were roadsters), though there is a 2006 model for Europe and Canada.

In 2005, the SRT-6 trim level was added. Variants numbered six, with two body models, Coupe and Roadster, and three trim levels, Base, Limited and SRT-6. [2] - The limited coupe has the the following amenities(compared to a base):
- cupholder
- homelink
- "crossfire" nameplated stainless steel door sill plates
- storage net between both front seats
- storage nets behind both front seats mounted on the bulkhead at the bottom
- silver cigarette lighter
- tire pressure monitor
- aluminum rubber studded pedals
- power seats
- different seats altogether with adjustable headrests
- leather seats
- heated seats
- 6 speaker 240 watt Infinity modulus radio (base just has a 4 speaker stereo with black knobs and no amplifier)
- fog lights
- silver trimmed speaker grilles
- satin silver finish exterior windshield frame, side fender vents and door handles (all black on base)
- chrome finish on exhaust pipe tips
- automatic transmission option
- color option other than black clearcoat
- interior color option other than black cloth
- gas strut on glovebox door (this strut is on the limited creates a slow opening door rather than just dropping open)
- heated exterior mirrors
- cabin air filtration system (base just has a simple recirculation feature)
- floormats
- touring gear
- painted engine cover

The SRT-6 is available as both a coupe and a convertible with 330 hp (246 kW) and 330 ft·lb (420 N·m) of torque. The additional horsepower over the Standard model is achieved via the addition of a supercharger. Upgrades found in the SRT-6 include suspension, brakes, and cosmetics. The SRT-6 only comes with the Autostick transmission. The SRT has a fixed spoiler compared to the automatic retractable wing on the other models. The SRT also has a modified front end which includes a front spoiler, also available navigation system that differentiates the SRT from other trim levels.

Answer 3

Very sharp looking little coupe/convertible which is more than 100% impractical.
