what has chrysler acctually done for the car someone enlighten me please?... all they did as far as I know is sell someone elses product with their stickers on them... it is like me buying a pack a malboros and putting a Sidez sticker on it claiming it is a Sidez product... imagine going to a store like Target and seeing every product in there ie. sony cameras, panasonic tvs all rebadged to "Target".. would not make much sense would it... cause all target is.. is a middleman for those companies... the same applies here..
Sidez, its a really great car, but its still a Chrysler. It may have been built overseas but the fact remains that it was conceived as a Chrysler product and will always remain so. If in your mind you want to pretend its a Mercedes-Benz, go ahead. But in my opinion its kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.

Look at my original post: Accept it for what it is, drive it, and enjoy it. The Crossfire is a great car!
