Not really. Chrysler actually used quite a bit of the Viper styling on other lines of theirs (think BIG open exaggerated front end gills, and such) that ended up being very successful. I do agree the blatant Crossfire copying doesn't suit this situation, but sometimes sharing these styling designs does work. The Viper has universal recognition and is generally a loved car, the Crossfire, while we all love them, tends to be something slightly different, not such a good idea to copy styling from.
