Summary:
Just wanted to set the record straight for those of you who have just fallen in love with the Crossfire. It has NOT been discontinued. Maybe they won't make it after 2008, I don't know. But they are definitely coming off the line this year.

2007 Crossfire Roadster

Summary:
Man, I love this car. I was looking at the Pontiac Solstice but I couldn't fit in it at 6'3". I started looking at Mercedes coupes and then I remembered reading about the Crossfire a couple years ago so I decided to give them a look. I'm glad I did too because pound for pound and dollar for dollar it's a great car. Why pay 10-15K more for a used SLK when you can have one of these brand new. It flys too with great off line and highway acceleration. Even really dogging it I'm getting 25+ MPG.

Strengths:
Styling, acceleration, styling, acceleration, styling......

Weaknesses:
none really. You shouldn't expect trunk space in a roadster.

Summary:
Wow that is the word that sums this car up. I have had sprots cars to SUV's and this is a great sports/touring car. It handles great but has a nice ride. The power is nice. I live in the midwest and it is my daily driver. I get 24.6mpg city/hwy drivin. Great economy for car that runs this well. It is not the fastes on the road but is nice. The day I bought it, I drove 8 hours to get this car then drove back 8 hours. Right after picking up the car I was on an open highway road with very few cars and noticed the trees seemed to be moving very quickly look at my speed. I was going 114mph and did not even feel it. Dedicded to use the cruse at 85 for the rest of the drive home still got 25mpg. If there is a draw back it is that there is only one cup holder but being a 2 seater you don't need the second cup holder all of the tme.

The price is great if you look at the price of Mercedes auto. This car is built in Germany by Mercedes and shipped to the states. This auto is over 85% Mercedes. There are a few chrysler items on it. Like the exhust system was change from the SLK so it would have a deeper sound plus it has some chrysler emblems. Again the word that sums it up is "WOW"

Strengths:
The car

Weaknesses:
None.

2006 Chyrsler Crossfire Limited conv.

Summary:
Car was bought for my wife. ( I drive it alot ) We both are very satified with this little 6 speed racer. We looked at many convertables and for the price we feel we got the biggest bang for our buck. We are very pleased by the fact that you dont see one every time you turn around and alot of people have walked up to look at it.

Strengths:
Strong runner,more than fast enough for us.looks graet

Weaknesses:
Have not found any yet.

2006 Coupe Limited 6spd (w/clutchy)

Summary:
The answer is: it's a Crossfire. I bet you have received the question many times, and ain't it neato when you give the response, nonchalantly of course. If I had a knickle for each minute I've just gazed at it, I'd be loaning money to Bill Gates...and who doesn't get a cheap thrill when the spoiler goes up when there is another car close behind or beside you.

Strengths:
Smooth, quiet, good stereo, well placed steering column aparatus, sneaky big trunk, short gearbox shift, etc...just sitting in it borders on exhilerating.

Weaknesses:
Windshield wipers are too tall and sit too high on the windshield...handbrake should be on the passenger side of the console and it sits to high when released (it almost looks engaged when it is down)...I won't mention the cupholder...a tilt wheel would be real nice.
