Default 2008 Crossfires and New Unlimited Warranty
I Bought a 2006 Crossfire back in March. We have a real good relationship with our dealer here in western Cincinnati and one salesman in particular. I asked him about a number or things and he confirmed and/or denied the following...

(1) No 2008 model year Crossfires, He has five 2007 models soon to arrive. They will be covered by the new unlimited mileage powertrain warranties. Owners like myself will be offered an upgrade to the warranty for $750. Karmann's Crossfire production run of 2007 model year units ended late April. 2007 model year cars will be sold through 2008 or until the stock is depleted.

(2) There will be a replacement for the Crossfire. The Demon, or something very much like it is a go ! ( the name will probably change...) There may be variants on the platform. Technology and platform sharing agreements are still in place between Chrysler and Benz through the 2012 model year. M-Benz components WILL be utilized along with Chrysler parts. He was unsure if Karmann will be involved. However, Karmann's US facilities are listed on their website as able to produce BIW ("bodies in white")...

This guy has always provided solid info in the past so I have to believe what he is telling me is the latest scoop !
