On another note, where you do get that awesome 3/4 panel Karmann badge?

Karmann should do what Bertone did in the 80's when FIAT was canceling the X1/9 and produce the Crossfire on their own. If I recall Pininfarina did the same with the FIAT Spyder too.

I bet they would even move a few more units without the perceived liability of the Chrysler branding. Hmmmmm the Karmann Krossfire. Still rolls of the tongue nicely.
