I have both a Crossfire Ltd and an SRT.

I have a theory regarding the very sparse marketing of these fine cars...

They are made by Karmann who is about to set up manufacturing for Chrysler in this country,
Mercedes didn't want to lose its premium branding in the US, but after it effectively bought Chrysler needed to have an Icon car to help the Chrysler brand compete and draw in customers to buy the other new cars they had.

What better way than to use Chrysler renowned styling department and the very well respected 320 engine and body - there have been over 330,000 engine units sold all over the world.

Sure the critics complained it was old technology - it was and still is beautifully styled, and is extremely well built no matter what they say... they complain for example, that the rack a pinion steering isn't good, I seem to recall the Solstice and Sky have the same steering !!
and frankly until roads here reach european standards it wouldn't make alot of difference, besides how many of us can drive at anywhere near top speed ? Only the germans on the amazing autobahns designed for high speed motoring.

Anyway, the cars are made at one of the best plants in Europe alongside some really top end sports cars and will I think remain quirky... the SRT with all its speed and agility is likely to be a collectors car...

Enjoy, on our last 5,500 mile road trip in October we saw just 10 others and most were in Florida in the Keys, we have only ever seen one other SRT, whilst driving...
