I'm not surprised. Despite being one cool looking car, the Crossfire was pricey and had an interior with more plastic than Barbie's dreamhouse.

Can probably pick one up for a smokin' price right now.

LMAO!

But seriously who did Chrysler think they were hustling. Who the hell want to buy a car which is based of a 10 years old model, ***. The Crossfire is the last 35-45k coupe I would consider buying. You should probably stick to the A3, it is even much more rare than the Crossfire. I can't tell you that I have seen more than 3-5 A3s during the latest 2-3 months.

Good riddance I say.

I never liked it and I never will.

And at least in my opinion, while the Crossfire Roadster version looks surprisingly good. The Coupé version is one of the most ungodly ugly cars ever to grace the roads.

There are a few around here, the exterior styling is retro, but the interior is pure SLK, think they made a mistake there!

bmer

It was still on sale?

Ubermensch

I'll miss it, it was a nice ride.

zetableh

Maybe I'll be able to pick one up cheap soon... have some fun tuning it.

Ubermensch

Surprise! Crossfire survives for another year



When the Crossfire was introduced, it was hailed as the consummation of the German-American marriage between Daimler and Chrysler. It's success, or lack thereof, may have foretold the rocky relationship that would ensue over the following years. But even though sales have continued to decline, Automotive News is reporting that the Crossfire will be back in 2008, equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system and a few other minor changes.

The last few years have been less-than-stellar for the Mercedes-based coupe. With a glut of unsold '06 and '07 models filling storage facilities in Europe, orders were suspended for a while, but production never ceased.
In the meantime, Crossfire sales have declined, from 14,665 in 2005 to 8,216 in 2006, and in an effort to stop the downward spiral, a series of incentives have been thrown on the hood. How long this can continue is an open question -- something that Chrysler's new suitor, Cerberus Capital Management, can't put off for long.
