One other interesting thing...

I bought this from the local Merc/BMW dealer. I asked if they would service the Crossfire given all of its Mercedes parts. The sales guy said "no" but it was more like "heck no!" He said I have to take it to a Chrysler dealer.

I wonder if that attitude was unique to that dealership or is Mercedes' eagerness to dump Chrysler trickling down to all of the dealerships?
