I understand that xfires in Southern Michigan are not an exception at any level. A friend who is a Chrysler engineer even got a new one for his kid a couple of years back because the deal could not be beat. As he explained it, Chrysler offered employees (maybe only execs) a two year lease w/15 k a year at under $200 per month just to get the cars out of inventory and on the road. Don't have true particulars, but I do know he was paying less than the cost of a lease on a Calibur. Chrysler employees live in Michigan, not Nevada, Charleston, or Miami. Thus, Michigan=Crossfire country.
