Hmmm...

Maybe this is a go after all ?

About three weeks ago the most trustworthy Salesman I know at the local dealer just returned from a meeting and confirmed the Demon as "the Crossfire replacement..." He also confirmed Chrysler and M-Benz have several on-going development projects/vehicles. (remember M-Benz still gets 20% off the top if Chrysler turns a profit so it is in their interest to see them succeed...)

Now we get news that Karmann may indeed restart the Crossfire production line this fall. Afterwards it would be fairly easy for Karmann to modify the same line to produce the Demon on a variant of the Crossfire platform. Which is exactly what the current Demon prototype is; a modified, reskinned Crossfire ! Now if Cerberus/Karmann/Benz can use less expensive Dodge engines and other parts perhaps the price can be held to 20-25K after all...

Also note; the SRT4 Caliber has just been announced. 285 horsepower should be enough to challenge the class dominating Solstice GTP !

So, if the Karmann line runs off 2008 model year Crossfires fall '07 thru late summer '08 then 2009 model year Demons may start production Fall '08 !

That's my prediction for now !
