Chrysler Crossfire cancelled
I've always liked the Crossfire - or at least really wanted to.
The styling, while not nearly as edgy as its namesake concept car, was provocative, unique, and showed Chrysler's (now lost, it seems) flare for design.
Unfortunately, given Chrysler's tie-up with Mercedes, the car that ultimately got produced had a cheap feeling interior (which is odd since it is shared with the Mercedes SLK on which it is based), poor handling, and a weak powertrain.
Ultimately, sales suffered and the last Crossfire will roll off the assembly line this summer.
I only wonder what the Crossfire could have been if Chrysler's German masters hadn't been holding it back.
