Chrysler Crossfire used review | 2003-2009 - Cars Guide
Chrysler Crossfire has a huge radiator grille, strakes on the ultra-long bonnet that look like a carryover from the 1930s, vents on the front guards, a stubby little cabin and a downward-curving rump that has traces of art deco. Perhaps it was simply too different for many people, because the Crossfire didn’t sell particularly well. It was well-priced on the new car scene and is a real bargain on the used-car market. This is a surprise, because the Mercedes-Benz SLK - from which the Chrysler Crossfire borrowed many of its out of sight parts - has done well both as a new and used car. At the launch of the Crossfire in November 2003, I can distinctly remember Chrysler telling we journos, “everything you can see and touch is unique to the Crossfire. The similarity in under-the-skin parts was due to Chrysler and Mercedes being in partnership at one time. There’s another German connection in the Chrysler Crossfire. Chrysler’s Crossfire is like a racing car in that it uses larger wheels and tyres at the rear than the front. The Crossfire has full leather trim, power seats with heating, an Infinity Modulus stereo system, dual-zone air-conditioning and cruise control as well as quite a few other comfort features - this is far from.
